Have Your Benefits Run Out? Click this link to find out how to get an unemployment extension: The law sets qualifying requirements in three main areas: your past wages, your job separation, and ongoing availability and work search requirements. You must meet all of the following qualifying requirements in order to receive benefits. Past Wages You must have earned enough wages in your base period. The base period is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before you filed your claim. Reason for separation from your last work You must be unemployed or partially unemployed through no fault of your own in order to receive benefits. Ongoing availability and work search You must be physically able and available to work. You must also be actively seeking work. If you are temporarily laid off and have a definite return-to-work date, your work search requirements may be waived. http://www.laworks.net/FAQs/FAQ_UI_ClaimantBenefits.asp#answer_3 How do I file for unemployment benefits? Before filing a claim, you will need to have the following information available: Your Social Security Number. The names, addresses, and phone numbers of all your employers for the last 18 months. The name and local number of your union hall, if applicable. Alien Registration Number, if applicable. If you are unable to locate the above required information within the first week you are unemployed, contact the UI Call Center @ 1-866-783-5567. Delay in reporting will affect your benefits. Warning: The last page of the Internet application will state that your claim has been completed and will give you a confirmation number. Unless you receive a confirmation number, your claim will not be processed. https://laors.laworks.net/laclaims/claim/Index-Form.asp Unemployment Office Contact Information Louisiana Workforce Commission Contacts Louisiana Workforce Commission 1001 N. 23rd Street Baton Rouge, LA 70802 Incumbent Worker Training Program Incumbent Worker Training Program Unit 5615 Corporate Boulevard, Suite 300 Baton Rouge, LA 70808 iwtp@ldol.state.la.us IWTP Regional Contacts (PDF) Labor Market Information Research and Statistics Division, LMI Unit 1001 North 23rd Street Post Office Box 94094 Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9094 Fax: (225) 342-9192 oois@ldol.state.la.us Media Relations P.O.
