053-20 Wyo. Code R. §§ 20-2 - Filing Continued Claims for Benefits

(a) In order to maintain continuing eligibility for benefits with respect to any weeks of unemployment during any continuous period of unemployment, a claimant shall continue to file claims in the manner and on the dates as directed by the division. No continued claim shall be complete until the claimant files the claim by telephone to the division's voice response system or by Internet using the division's approved web site for continued claim. A claimant who does not have access to file by telephone or the division's approved web site, may receive division approval to receive paper continued claim forms to file by either fax or mail. A continued claim must be filed no later than Saturday, two weeks following the ending date covered by the claim. Failure to file continued claims within the time prescribed may be excused if good cause for the delay is established to the satisfaction of the division. On a continued claim the claimant shall set forth the following:

(i) That he continues his claim for benefits.

(ii) That during the period for which benefits are claimed he performed no work and earned no wages, except as reported thereon.

(iii) That he was able to work, available for work, and actively seeking work, except as reported thereon.

(iv) Such other information as is required by the telephone voice response system, the division's approved web site for continued claims, or a division approved form.

(b) Where a continuous period of unemployment is terminated or interrupted by re-employment or any other event which prevents continuing eligibility for benefits, a claimant, in order to receive benefits for any week of unemployment for which he was in all respects eligible before such termination or interruption, may file for benefits for such weeks. The claim must be filed with the division by telephone to the division's voice response system, Internet using the division's approved web site for continued claims, in person at a local employment center, or on a division approved form within fourteen (14) days after the end of the week for which benefits are claimed. Failure to file within the time prescribed may be excused if good cause for such delay is established to the satisfaction of the division.
