053-20 Wyo. Code R. §§ 20-1 - Filing a New or Additional Claim for Benefits

Any individual claiming benefits for unemployment under the Wyoming Employment Security Law shall proceed as follows:

(a) An individual may file an initial claim for unemployment benefits by telephone to the division's claim center or by Internet using the division's approved web site claim application. An individual may also file an initial claim at an employment center, in person, either by using the center's telephone to contact the division's claim center or by Internet using the division's approved web site claim application. The effective date of an initial claim shall be the Sunday of the calendar week in which the individual first completed an Internet claim, or completed a telephone claim through the claim center for the purpose of initiating an initial unemployment insurance claim, unless the claimant requests that the claim be effective the following Sunday or unless the claimant has excessive earnings during that week and is separated from employment. The effective date of the claim may be changed by the division for good cause.

(b) In order to meet the requirement of W.S. 27-3-401(a), a claimant shall provide all information required to establish or process a claim, including the claimant's social security number and information to establish the claimant's identity. If the claimant fails, without good cause, to provide information required under this section, the claimant shall not be eligible for benefits until the week in which the requested information is provided.
