You can file for unemployment benefits through the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment website or by calling 303-318-9000.

Here are some helpful short videos to watch regarding filing an unemployment claim, work search requirements and getting paid.
Please contact the state to inquire about the status of your unemployment benefits by calling 303-318-9000.
Once you file for unemployment, you will be required to set up an account with Connecting Colorado, which allows you to view job openings and post your resume.
We encourage you to consult with our Career Coaches after filing for unemployment and setting up a Connecting Colorado account. Our career coaches can review your resume, provide job search assistance, connect you to training and lend support. Schedule a Meeting Now.
You may be eligible to receive additional financial assistance including, but not limited to, financial support, food assistance, child care assistance, housing assistance, medical assistance and more.
