How long will it take to receive benefits?

  • Federal agencies have 12 days to provide your wage information.
  • If they don’t respond, we may use your documents to establish your claim.
  • Benefits are typically paid within 22 days of filing or renewing a claim, unless there’s an issue under review.
  • If an issue arises, it may take 4–6 weeks to resolve. You’ll be contacted if more information is needed.
