Being out of a job isn’t a picnic. In fact it’s worrying, upsetting and causes stress that most people don’t want to have to deal with. Being a good worker you naturally assumed that you’d be keeping your job over the course of your career, probably retiring from the same company for which you originally went to work.
You plan your goals and map out your career path, usually not planning for things like a layoff or a business closure to throw a monkey wrench into the works. When unemployment rears it’s head you’re not quite sure what to do to compensate for it.
Filing for unemployment isn’t something anyone is prepared to do. Generally the red tape seems insurmountable and the task isn’t one that you had ever hoped to need to accomplish.
Fortunately its not difficult, merely time consuming in some instances. Given the excessive number of people who are filing for unemplioyment now, the worst place to file for you will be the Unemployment office. Granted the office has many great offerings but you don’t want to be in the lines that are taking place in most unemployment offices around the United States currently.
Your best bet for filing for unemployment will likely be on the Kentucky unemployment website, which is located at https://uiclaims.des.ky.gov/ebenefit/
The same information that would have been asked of you in person or on the telephone will be needed to file online. A wizard type format will ask you questions, which are answered with information from your work history. Social security number, full name, employment dates, employment history and reasons for leaving, as well as your address and that of your employer will be required to fill out the information.
At the completion of the filing on the Kentucky unemployment website you are given a number which tells you that your information was successfully filed and that you’re ready to receive your unemployment checks.
Further methods of filing are by telephone, which will need the same information.
