(Albuquerque) - All New Mexico Department
of Workforce Solutions’ offices, including the Unemployment Insurance (UI)
Operations Center, will be closed Monday, January 19, 2015 in observance of
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. 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 7 p.m. The Operations Center will resume normal hours on
Tuesday, January 20, 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, January 19 is a federal holiday. Some banking
institutions and the US Postal Service will be closed in observance of Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day. This may result in a delay of banking transactions for UI
debit card and direct deposit benefit payment recipients for those certifying
on Sunday. This will also result in a delay of mail delivery for a small
portion of UI claimants who receive checks.
