Unemployment Claims Information for Employers
Employers: 
You are mandated by the state to electronically file partial claims on behalf of your employees whenever it is necessary to temporarily lay workers off, reduce their work hours, or temporarily close due to COVID-19. Filing partial claims results in employees receiving unemployment insurance benefit payments faster, usually within 48 hours for claims filed electronically.

To electronically file an unemployment claim, click here. Please monitor the GDOL website at gdol.ga.gov for any updates to these guidelines.
