The Electronic Mass Claims Filing System is designed to assist employers and their employees during a temporary mass layoff. Employee information provided by the employer, allows the Division of Employment Security (DES) to file an initial or renewed unemployment claim on behalf of employees quickly and efficiently.
Go to the Mass Claim page for information on how to file the Mass Claim and information to give employees.
This allows the Division of Employment Security to file the initial or renewed claim on behalf of the employees quickly and efficiently.
The employer would need to give the employees the instruction sheet that is included information when filing the Mass Claim. This will instruct the employees to go into Uinteract.labor.mo.gov and create an account. After the account is created, the employee would then need to do the Weekly Request for Payment after the Saturday of the week they are wanting to claim unemployment.
Yes, there is an initial ten day waiting period. The employees still need to set up their account and user id in UInteract.labor.mo.gov. Each employee will also need to do their Weekly Requests for Payment each Sunday.
Yes, our system will not file another unemployment claim if the employee has already filed. These will show as “Reject” when the Mass Claim process is completed. “Reject” doesn’t mean there is no claim, it just means we did not file again.
These reject because the employee has already filed a claim prior to this processing. There is no issue as the employee does have an unemployment claim. This does put in the recall date that you entered for the mass claim.
This is the set date that your employees are scheduled to return to work. UInteract will only let you put in a Saturday date, so you will put in the Saturday of the week they are scheduled to return to work.
If the business reopens prior to the set recall date, then the employees can just stop claiming unemployment. If the employee does not return to work on or before the set recall date, then they will be required to do work search activities for weeks they claim after the set recall date.
