(Albuquerque) - All New
Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions’ offices, including the Unemployment
Insurance (UI) Operations Center, will be closed Monday, October 13, 2014 in
observance of Columbus 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. Automated toll-free phone options are available at
1-877-664-6984. The Operations Center will resume normal hours on Tuesday,
October 14, 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, October 13 is a federal holiday. Some
banking institutions and the US Postal Service will be closed in observance of
Columbus 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.
