What Are The Numbers To Call To Claim My Benefits By Phone?

Please inform the Regional Claims Center representative if you need an interpreter.

The Regional Claims Centers are open and accepting telephone calls from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Once you are "on hold" to speak with a claims representative, stay on the line. Hanging up and calling back will only increase your wait time.
Claims can be filed 24/7 by Internet at

www.moclaim.com

Monday and Tuesday are our busiest days.
You may experience an extended wait. For
faster service, please call later in the
week. Waiting until later in the week
to file your initial claim for benefits
will have NO effect on the beginning,
or effective, date of your claim.
