If you have applied for Unemployment Insurance, here are some examples of the letters you might receive.  



Step 5 — Let’s review a letter. In the top right corner of the first page are several important numbers.  

Date Issued:The date on the letter is important because you have a limited number of days to respond to questionnaires, file appeals, and take other actions. ViewLetters5EN.png

Letter ID: Each letter has a unique code that starts with L and has 10 digits. It helps us identify the letter if you contact us. ViewLetters5.1EN.png

Claimant ID: This number is unique to you and helps us track your account.ViewLetters5.2EN.png

Claim ID: For Unemployment Insurance claims, this number is unique to a specific year-long application for benefits. For Paid Leave claims, this number is specific to your benefit year.

Benefit Issue: For Unemployment Insurance claimants, this number is used to track a specific issue or problem that we found with your claim. Paid Leave claimants may have a benefit issue number without it being related to a problem.

ViewLetters5.4EN.png Some letters may not have a Claimant ID, Claim ID, or Benefit Issue. All letters contain a Date Issued and a Letter ID. ViewLetters5.5EN.png

Letters have sections that explain decisions or issues related to your claim and what you can do. These sections include:
