Employees who have lost their job due to the COVID-19 virus can apply for unemployment benefits online at File an Unemployment Claim. After filing that application, clients will be sent information on how to also register for The Workforce Center. After the claim has been submitted, the Unemployment office in Denver will send claim forms to the employer who must fill them out and return them to the Denver office. If employers complete this step quickly, claims can be processed more quickly. The wait time for a client to start receiving benefits can be 3-8 weeks, depending on employers.
The Workforce Center is currently closed to the public, but clients can call and leave a message at 970-565-3759 if they need help filing claims online. Someone will return their call to assist them.
