Certify for Weekly Benefits
Unemployment benefits are claimed on a weekly basis beginning on Sunday and ending at midnight on the following Saturday. After applying for benefits you will need to file your first weekly certification. You should certify at the end of the week in which you applied for benefits, but no later than 21 days after the date you filed your application. For example, if you filed your application for benefits on June 1, the VEC must receive your first weekly request for payment no later than June 21.
