You can claim temporary financial assistance 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 based on financial need, and is paid for entirely by employers. How much you can get depends on how much you worked and earned in the 18 months before you file.
File your initial claim online through the Utah Department of Workforce Services unemployment insurance claim filing website, or call the Claims Assistance and Re-Employment team: 801-526-4400 for Salt Lake and South Davis counties, 801-612-0877 for Weber and North Davis counties, 801-375-4067 for Utah County, or 888-848-0688 for the rest of the state and out-of-state callers.
Your Social Security number, the names of all your employers as they appear on your pay stubs with the dates you worked, the name and local number of your union hall if you have one, your driver licence or ID card number, your Alien Registration number if you are not a U.S. citizen, and the mailing address and phone number of any non-Utah employers.
