CareerOneStop

This U.S. Department of Labor site helps you find a job, get free training, fix up your resume, and locate the job center nearest you.

Good to know

It has a state-by-state tool that shows exactly how to file for unemployment where you worked, and information is offered in many languages.

Have ready

the state where you worked, since you file with that state
addresses and dates of your former employment, which your state will ask for when you file
your zip code, if you want to find the nearest American Job Center

They can

point you to your state's unemployment website or phone number so you can file
help you find your nearest American Job Center, which offers job search help and training
answer questions about employment or training programs on the 1-877-US2-JOBS helpline

They cannot

take your unemployment claim: each state runs its own program, and you file with that state
charge you anything: neither CareerOneStop nor any state or federal unemployment program charges a fee to file, so a message asking for money is a scam
