How to File Weekly Claim
You can certify for weekly benefits by phone or online.
ADVISORY: Due to heavy volume during the day on Sunday (the first day for signing weekly benefits), UI claimants may experience difficulty or delay with WebCert service. We encourage claimants to sign during the expanded hours of 7:00pm to 10:00pm on Sunday or use TeleCert (call 617-626-6338) during the expanded hours.
Certifying weekly benefits early in the day provides no advantage. All payments are sent at the same time on the next business day.
