Unemployment Benefits Program
Filing and determination of eligibility for Unemployment Benefits is handled by our partners at the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, Division of Employment Security (DES). As a requirement of receiving Unemployment Benefits, you may be instructed to go to a Missouri Job Center for 4-week reporting.
Missouri Job Centers only handle reemployment and training. Questions dealing specifically with your Unemployment Benefits must be directed to DES staff.
