How long will my claim last?
Your claim is good for a one year period called a Benefit Year. This means that you will have one year to collect your maximum benefit amount. You are responsible for tracking the balance on your claim since you may exhaust your maximum benefit amount before that one-year period ends.
If you stop filing for benefits for 21 days or more, your claim becomes inactive. You can reactivate your claim online or by calling (866) 832-2363. The effective date of this claim will be the Sunday of the week in which you reactivate it, and previous weeks cannot be claimed. If you have provided the VEC with a return to work date that has now passed, you will also need to reactivate your claim.
