If you lost your job at no fault of your own, then it is important to file your claim right away. For unemployment insurance purposes the week begins on Sunday and ends on the following Saturday at midnight. You should file your claim the week in which you become unemployed. The effective date of your claim is the Sunday of the week it is filed. Claims cannot be backdated to an earlier week so it is important to file as soon as possible after becoming unemployed. At the time of filing you will need information including your Social Security Number. Name, address and telephone number of all employers for whom you worked in the last 18 months or since last registering. Wage you are willing to accept. Union Local name and number, DD214 member copy 4 (proof of military service and wages). SF8 and SF50 (proof of federal civilian service and wages)/ Your alien identification number (non-US citizen authorized to work in the US).
