You can claim temporary income if you lose your job through no fault of your own. It replaces part of your lost wages while you look for other work, is not meant to be permanent, and is not based on financial need. Recently separated veterans who meet the eligibility rules can claim, and unemployment compensation for ex-service members may also apply to you.
File as soon as you are separated from your employer using the UInteract online unemployment system. For help, call a regional claims center: Jefferson City 573-751-9040, Kansas City 816-889-3101, St. Louis 314-340-4950, Springfield 417-895-6851, or 800-320-2519 outside a local calling area.
Your Social Security number, your gross earnings for the week including vacation, holiday or severance pay, the name, address and employment dates for each employer in the last 18 months, and your bank routing and account number for direct deposit.
