Filing a Claim for Unemployment Benefits in Delaware:
In order to apply for unemployment insurance you must first complete an initial claim by telephone or over the Internet. A claim should always be filed as soon as possible after you are separated from employment since claims are not retroactive to your last day of employment but rather from the day you file the initial claim.
- To file a claim online go to: State of Delaware
- To file a claim via telephone call the unemployment hotline at 1.800.794.3032

Appealing a Disqualified Claim:

If this happens, you can file an appeal. Information on how to file an appeal in Delaware is located here: appeal your unemployment claim
