www.kewes.ky.gov - Claiming Unemployment Weeks by Internet

You live in the state of Kentucky, and you have recently lost your job. You may be contemplating what to do about filing employment. The money for unemployment insurance benefits comes from the taxes that your employer pays to the state and federal governments. You are eligible to receive it under the right circumstances. If you were fired for misconduct at work or quit for a work or medical reason, you might not be eligible. The steps below will help you through the initial unemployment application filing process.

Go to the Kentucky Unemplyoment weekly benefit website. Individuals may file for unemployment benefits through this link. To file a claim, you will need:

1. Your social security number
2. Your complete mailing address
3. Name, address, and phone number for each of your employers over the last 18 months.
4. The exact day you began work at each job.
5. The last day you worked at each job.
