    Instructions for Filing An Unemployment Insurance Claim

    UI Claims Filing Instructions


    The Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) is temporarily suspending all in-person requirements for services provided by
    the agency. We strongly encourage individuals and employers to conduct GDOL-related business online to protect
    yourself and our staff from potential exposure to COVID-19. Select Online Services for a complete list of available
    services.

    Filing an Unemployment Claim Online


    You will need your:
    • Social Security Number
    • Georgia Driver’s License, if applicable
    • Bank’s routing number and your account number (if you want to receive your benefit payments via direct
    deposit)
    • Work history information for the last 18 months
    Follow these steps:
    1. Select the link labeled Apply for Unemployment Benefits on the GDOL Home page.
    2. Answer the questions completely.
    3. Download and read the Claimant Handbook. Information in this handbook provides detailed instructions
    regarding the unemployment insurance (UI) program and “Next Steps” to follow after submitting your claim.
    4. Record your Confirmation Number. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided when
    completing the claim application. (If you do not receive a confirmation number, the application was not
    successfully completed. It remains on the system for 24 hours. Log in again and make sure you select FINISH to
    receive a confirmation number.)

    After you file, your next steps are to


    1. Request your weekly benefit payment every week, starting the first Sunday after filing your claim by selecting
    Claim Weekly UI Benefits Payments on the GDOL Home page or calling the Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
    System at 1.866.598.4164
    2. Monitor your voicemail and email closely for messages from the GDOL.
    3. Respond immediately to all requests for additional information.
    4. GDOL will contact you if it is necessary for you to complete an Applicant Status Affidavit (DOL-1054A). You will
    not have to go to a career center.
    a. Download and complete the affidavit in its entirety.
    b. Mail the affidavit and an enlarged, legible copy of your valid government-issued picture identification to the
    career center you selected on your claim. Select Find a Career Center or use the address indicated in the
    email request.

    If you have claimed a week of benefits and have not received your written determination of eligibility, Claims Examiner’s
    Determination within 21 days of the filed date, you may call UI Customer Service immediately at 404.232.3001 (in Metro
    Atlanta) or 1.877.709.8185 (in all other areas).
