NEW! Direct Deposit
The Unemployment Insurance (UI) Program offers direct deposit as a payment method. With direct deposit, benefits are electronically deposited directly to an existing checking or savings account of your choice. After receiving your 4-digit personal identification number from the UI Program, visit the Payment Selection Web page to select direct deposit as your payment method. The Payment Selection Web page is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The UI Program automatically deposits your benefit payments to the Colorado Automated Payment (CAP) Card unless you request direct deposit as your payment method. For more information, visit Direct Deposit Frequently Asked Questions.

Cubline Online and Internet Initial Claims Due to the volume of traffic to CUBLine Online and Internet Initial Claims, claimants may experience intermittent slowness when filing an unemployment claim online. Callers to the UI Benefits Line (303) 318-9000 with a specific question about their claim may experience extended wait times up to an hour. For answers to commonly asked questions and information on Extended Unemployment Compensation please check the Unemployment Insurance Claim Self Service Resource Guide. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Extension of Emergency Unemployment Compensation

President Bush has signed into law a bill that provides up to seven additional weeks of Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) to eligible, unemployed individuals. The first payable week for this extension of EUC is the week of November 23–29, 2008. The Customer Contact Center is currently experiencing high call volumes and callers are experiencing long wait times. Detailed information is available on the EUC Web page. If you review the EUC Web page, you may find answers to your questions and eliminate the need to call the Customer Contact Center. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will contact all potentially eligible individuals with filing instructions and will update the EUC Web page with new information.

The Colorado Department of Labor & Employment has moved, (effective 5/31/05): Get Directions

Colorado is a great place to live and work.  At the Department of Labor and Employment, we want to ensure that this continues -- and that means never taking Colorado workers or the businesses that employ them, for granted.

We are committed to both employers and workers by providing an up to date accurate picture of the economy that helps in decision making; by assisting workers who have been injured on the job or lost a job through no fault of their own; by ensuring fair labor practices. And by protecting the work place-and Colorado communities-with a variety of safety programs.

Businesses and workers across the state are providing the intellectual capital, the energy, adaptability and talent that will build Colorado as this century progresses. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment will be there to help at every step on the journey ahead.
