How to Find Answers to Unemployment Insurance Questions
After learning about filing your claim, common issues, and the appeals process, you might still have unanswered questions. Don’t worry, the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) has resources to assist you.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Start by checking out our FAQs section on the DWD website. You’ll find answers to many common questions that may address your concerns.
Claimant Handbook
If the FAQs don’t provide the information you need, we’ve prepared a comprehensive Claimant Handbook. This handbook is an in-depth guide to the unemployment insurance claims process. It gives you a step-by-step explanation and can be a valuable resource.
Contact Center
If you still have questions, we have a Contact Center where you can speak to trained agents. However, keep in mind a few things when reaching out:
- Wait at least 21 days before contacting the call center, especially if there’s an issue with your claim. Sometimes, certain matters require an adjudication review, which takes time to resolve.
- Avoid calling on Mondays if possible. This day experiences the highest call volume as most unemployment insurance payments are deposited on Mondays. Waiting until Tuesday, Wednesday, or later in the week can reduce your call wait time.
- Consider using our call back feature. This allows you to leave your number and be called back at a more convenient time, minimizing your waiting time on hold.
Remember, the Contact Center is there to help you. The agents are trained to assist with your unemployment claim. If you’ve exhausted other resources and still can’t find the answers you’re seeking, feel free to contact them.
