Federal Government Shutdown
Individuals who have been furloughed or temporarily laid off due to the government shutdown may file for unemployment benefits. Federal wages are assigned to the State where your most recent official duty station is located. If your most recent official duty station was in a state other than New Hampshire, please contact that state for information on filing your claim. Federal employees with a most recent official duty station in New Hampshire may file online from home at www.nhes.nh.gov or at any NHWorks office (NH Employment Security). To assist this agency in processing the claim, you will likely be sent a Claimant Affidavit of Wages to complete if you were employed directly with a Federal agency. Please bring your 2017 W2, recent check stubs and any document(s) you were provided upon layoff to the nearest NHWorks office. You may be found overpaid if you later receive retroactive payment from your employer for weeks that you were paid unemployment benefits.

Security Alert
NHES continues to receive information regarding a number of nationwide online scams targeting individuals seeking to file unemployment insurance claims. These sites request personal information and charge a fee to help customers complete their Unemployment Insurance claims, typically implying that they are directly connected with a state’s official website.

The State of New Hampshire processes unemployment claims for free, so customers should be extremely wary of any site that charges a fee for this service.

New Hampshire Employment Security will also never ask for your credit card information. If asked to supply your credit card information or if you should receive a pop-up message seeking your credit card information while on the agency’s website you should not provide any information and immediately close down the application you are using. You should then contact an appropriate IT professional to review the security of the computer system you are using and seek help specifically dealing with malware/virus repair.

If you are unable to file your claim for benefits because of this or a similar problem, please remember each NHES local office maintains a resource center equipped with computers for filing your claim. Local Office Locations
