claim with any of these states under the 

Combined-Wage Claim program. Your 

wages will be combined and the amount 

of your benefits will be determined 

under the law of the one state where 

you establish your combined-wage 

claim. You should know that state 

unemployment laws, weekly benefit 

amounts, and eligibility requirements 

vary between the states. Can you tell me 

where you have worked, the dates of 

such work and the states in which you 

worked? (Follow your state’s procedures 

on verifying identity.) Thank you. Based 

on what you have provided to me, you 

could establish a claim with any of 

these states. Have you contacted any of 

these states to obtain information about 

potential eligibility? (Individual 

answers yes.) And, do you know which 

state you wish to establish a claim with? 

(Claimant answers yes and indicates s/ 

he wants to file a claim with State A, 

which does not accept interstate claims 

by phone or Internet.) I will be happy 

to take your claim against State A for 

you. Please keep in mind that I am 

acting as their agent in taking your 

claim. You will receive detailed 

information about the amount of 

benefits for which you qualify and 

continuing filing instructions from that 

state. The exact amount of your 

entitlement will not become final until 

your claim is established and your 

wages are transferred to the paying state. 

I have a few more questions so let’s get 

started.’’ 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of 

January, 2009.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Employment and 

Training Administration, U.S. Department of
