If you filed for unemployment within the last 52 weeks (12 months) and have not exhausted your benefits, you must reopen your claim to restart your benefits.

Benefit Year Ending Date

Your benefit year end date is 12 months after you filed your claim.

You can find your benefit year end date by logging in to UI Online^SM and viewing your Claim Summary. Your benefit year end date is 12 months after the start of your Benefit Year.

You can also refer to your Notice of Unemployment Insurance Award (DE 429Z) for your claim ending date.

We will send you a notice telling you to apply for a new claim if you are still certifying for benefits.
