Claimant Orientation
Claimant Orientation
Sign up for a group online claimant orientation
First-time filers can sign up for a group online coaching session to learn about applying for unemployment benefits.
- Learn six steps to help apply and understand benefits using the new Claimant Roadmap.
- Get online guidance from trained UIA instructors.
Sessions are available mornings and afternoons, Tuesday through Friday. Click the link below to sign up for available dates and times.
After signing up, you will receive an email link to join the group session on your selected day and time. Reminder emails will be sent one day and one hour before the session begins.
Claimant orientation coaching sessions are for those filing a new claim only. The sessions are not for someone who has questions about their current claim. If you currently have a claim and would like to speak to a customer service agent, please visit our Schedule an Appointment page or call UIA's customer service line at 1-866-500-0017.
