Prepare for the telephone interview by reviewing about the telephone interview .

Claimants complete and submit a form for each week they wish to claim benefits.
The forms are usually for two weeks at a time and claimants must certify that they have met eligibility requirements for each week benefits are claimed. For more information review the frequently asked questions about eligibility requirements . Base period employers may be charged for all or part of a claimant's benefits. To ensure accuracy, base period employers review the information reported on the DE 1545. The form shows the claimant's identity, wage and employment information.
