Each week, we require that you check-in with us about your job hunt by answering a few questions. The questions are asking about the week before, so If you worked a few hours, you would be asked to enter the amount you earned between the last Sunday through Saturday.
Weekly certifications are an important part of the process to receive benefits if eligible. When you file for benefits the unemployment week ends Saturday at midnight. Weekly certifications need to begin that following week. They can be done any day of each week; the busiest day being Sunday. Also, do not wait for correspondence from our agency to take action. You must certify even if you have not been approved yet. Delay can result in non-payment of skipped weeks.
Before you certify, please calculate any earnings you have earned from last week. (Even if those earnings have not yet been paid to you yet) If this is your first week to certify, odds are, you've earned some amount of money from this past week.
