Unemployment Insurance (UI) — How to claim and get paid

What to do first

• File now in WYUI: Create your profile, answer the separation questions, and submit the claim the same day your hours drop or you’re laid off. You can file online 24/7; phone filing runs weekdays with limited hours. WYUI and the UI Claims Center are your two lanes. Expect to verify identity and past employers. (dws.wyo.gov)
• File weekly claims: Benefits only pay for weeks you certify. File each week after Saturday ends, and do it within 14 days or you lose that week. Keep filing even during an appeal. See Filing & Reopening and check status in WYUI. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Set up payment: Choose direct deposit or the default U.S. Bank ReliaCard. You can switch in your WYUI profile; watch the “Correspondence” tab for notices. (dws.wyo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call the Claims Center and ask for help unlocking your account or fixing wage errors; if locked out online, email the address on the Filing & Reopening page with your name, last 4 SSN, and callback number. If denied, keep certifying and move to appeal (see Appeals below). (dws.wyo.gov)

How much you can get and how long it lasts

• Weekly amount: As of July 7, 2024, Wyoming’s weekly benefit ranges from $45to$624 based on your past earnings. Wyoming recalculates the maximum each July; check the current figures in the DWS UI FAQ. Plan for up to 26 weeks of benefits in a benefit year. According to DWS (updated in 2024), part‑time earnings reduce your benefit when you earn over half your weekly benefit amount. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Partial work allowed: Report gross wages the week you earn them. If you work 35+ hours or earn at least your full weekly benefit, that week pays $0. See worked examples in the UI FAQ. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Timelines: If your claim is clean, first payment often lands within 10–21 days after you file and certify. Mail or employer responses can slow it down—always check WYUI for holds and respond fast. Use WYUI Inquiry to see issues and track payments. (dws.wyo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Payment is late: Confirm your weekly claim is “processed,” verify direct‑deposit routing, and check for identity or separation issues in your WYUI messages. If a determination denies benefits, appeal within 28 calendar days (details below). (dws.wyo.gov)

Work search rules you must follow

• Make at least two job contacts each week: Log the date, employer, method, and result. Also register and complete a resume in the state job system—Wyoming has moved services into HireWYO (previously “Wyoming at Work”). DWS states the minimum is two contacts weekly and registration with a completed resume. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Register in 14 days: Per the WIOA State Plan, claimants have two weeks to complete state job‑system registration (HireWYO); otherwise benefits can be denied until fixed. Ask any Workforce Center for help with resumes and “Virtual Recruiter.” (wioaplans.ed.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• You can’t meet work search: Visit a Workforce Center for documented work‑search help; if your employer placed you on a short furlough, ask DWS if a temporary exemption applies (12 weeks is the typical cap). (dws.wyo.gov)

Appeals — if you’re denied or disqualified

• File in writing within 28 days: Include your contact info, the decision you’re appealing, and why you disagree. Most hearings are by phone with a DWS hearing officer. If you lose, a three‑member Commission reviews higher‑level appeals monthly. See UI Appeals. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Keep certifying while you wait: You only get paid for weeks you claimed. Get free help from Legal Aid of Wyoming at 1-877-432-9955 and review the DWS mock hearing video on the appeals page. (lawyoming.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Hearing missed or evidence missing: Call the Appeals Section right away using the number on your notice to ask about reopening. If you need translation or disability accommodations, request them in advance using contacts on UI Appeals. (dws.wyo.gov)

DFS reports a family of three with no income “could receive” $781/month;assetsmustbeunder$5,000. Apply at your local DFS office using the Assistance application. (dfs.wyo.gov)

Child care so you can job search or train

• DFS Child Care Subsidy: Wyoming’s Child Care Subsidy helps when a parent is searching for work, working, or in training/college. In August 2025, DFS launched ECARES for applications and provider search; see the financial criteria updated April 1, 2025. You can also ask about Transitional Child Care if your income rises after you find work. (dfs.wyo.gov)
• Training programs with child‑care support: WIOA (see below) or Climb Wyoming may help with child care while you train; confirm supports with your program manager. Start by contacting your local office through the Climb locations page. (climbwyoming.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Waitlist or mismatch: Ask your Workforce Center to document a “supportive service” need in your WIOA plan. Use Wyoming 211 to find church‑based or nonprofit child‑care scholarships. (wyoming211.org)

Health coverage when you’re unemployed

• Medicaid and Kid Care CHIP: Apply online or by phone through the Wyoming Department of Health Customer Service Center at 1-855-294-2127. You can email, fax, or mail applications; processing can take up to 45 days. Start on Apply for Medicaid or Kid Care CHIP and read Medicaid FAQs. (health.wyo.gov)
• Kids’ coverage: Kid Care CHIP covers children who are over Medicaid income limits; WDH notes a family of four can earn “about $53,000” and still qualify (income changes annually—apply to confirm). Learn more on Kid Care CHIP. (health.wyo.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Coverage delayed: Ask about “presumptive eligibility” if you’re pregnant, or use a Federally Qualified Health Center while you wait. Call Wyoming 211 to find sliding‑fee clinics. (wyoming211.org)

How to stop a utility shutoff in Wyoming today

• Ask for a payment plan and “budget billing”: Call your electric or gas utility and request an arrangement, then apply for LIEAP. Rocky Mountain Power customers can also request payment plans at 1-888-221-7070. (dfs.wyo.gov)
• Apply for crisis help if you’re close to shutoff: LIEAP crisis benefits can cover deposits, shutoff notices, and empty tanks; priority households (seniors, disabled, kids 5 and under) apply in late September; all others apply Oct. 1.

• Last‑resort help: From Dec. 1–Apr. 30, apply for one‑time aid (often up to $500) through Energy Share of Wyoming, usually distributed via The Salvation Army; Black Hills Energy customers can also ask about Black Hills Cares. (energyshareofwyoming.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• File a PSC complaint: If you can’t reach an agreement, call the Wyoming Public Service Commission at 1-888-570-9905 and ask for help with a dispute. Connect with Wyoming 211 for local fuel‑funds or charity help. (psc.wyo.gov)

Housing, rent, and eviction prevention after job loss

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Missing weekly certifications: One missed week can cost you a payment. Set a reminder to file every Sunday in WYUI. (dws.wyo.gov)
• Skipping HireWYO registration: DWS can deny benefits until you register and post a resume. Use the HireWYO resources or get help at a Workforce Center. (wioaplans.ed.gov)
