    Initial Claims

    Metadata Updated: March 30, 2024

    ∙ The data provided is the number of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Initial Claim counts, which includes New and Additional Claims. A "New Claim" is the first claim for a benefit year period, which is 12 months.  An individual would only have one new claim during a benefit year period. Additional Claim is when another claim is filed during the same benefit year and there is intervening work between the current claim and the previous claim.  For example, an individual files a new claim, goes back to work, gets laid off and files another claim before the benefit year period of the first claim expires.  An individual can have multiple additional claims during the same benefit year if they meet eligibility requirements. These figures include only Regular UI, and exclude any Federal/Military claims and extensions.
