How Do I Renew My Claim?

Renew your claim as soon as you become unemployed.

Your claim will become inactive if you fail to file a weekly claim within 28 calendar days (four weeks) from the Saturday of the last week you claimed. Your claim must be renewed or reopened if it becomes inactive. This must be done before weekly claims can be filed. Whether filing by Internet or telephone, your renewed claim will be started the Sunday of the week you file the renewal.

By Internet

To renew your claim using the Internet, go to www.moclaim.com. You will receive a confirmation page after entering requested information. The confirmation page contains basic instructions about your claim. Print and keep this page.

By Telephone

The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system will answer your call. After entering basic information, you will speak to a claims representative to complete the claim filing. In addition to other information, you will need the name and address of your last employer and the last day you actually worked.

If you have not made a weekly claim for three weeks (21 calendar days) and you plan to claim the fourth week, you should call the Regional Claims Center before 5:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday of the fourth week for claim filing instructions.
