NMDWS Reminds Claimants to Plan Accordingly
NMDWS to Observe Upcoming Holidays - Unemployment Insurance Tax & Claims Online System Available
All New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions offices, including the Unemployment Insurance Operations Center, will be closed at noon on Friday, December 23; Monday, December 26, 2016 in observance of Christmas; and Monday, January 2, 2017 in observance of New Year’s. The department urges claimants to plan accordingly. Individuals can apply for Unemployment Insurance (UI), certify for their weekly claim, and check their claim status by logging in at www.jobs.state.nm.us, Sunday through Friday from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Operations Center will resume normal hours on Tuesday, December 27, and individuals can contact a Customer Service Agent in the NMDWS UI Operations Center at 1-877-664-6984 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
NMDWS would like to remind all eligible UI claimants that Monday, December 26, 2016 and Monday, January 2, 2017 are federal holidays. Some banking institutions and the US Postal Service will be closed in observance of Christmas and New Year’s. This may result in a delay of banking transactions for UI debit card and direct deposit benefit payment recipients. This will also result in a delay of mail delivery for a small portion of UI claimants who receive checks.
