Unemployment

JEFFERSON CITY, MO - The Missouri Department of Labor’s Division of Employment Security will accept applications for Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) for individuals in six Missouri counties through September 5, 2019 whose employment was lost or interrupted due to severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began April 29, 2019 and ended July 5, 2019. A disaster assistance amendment was declared on August 5, 2019 that allowed Missourians in the six additional counties of Callaway, Jefferson, Lewis, McDonald, Newton and Saline to apply for DUA.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO - In April 2019, the Missouri Division of Employment Security (DES) launched a mobile-friendly version of UInteract, the Division’s complete unemployment insurance online system. “Becoming mobile-friendly aligned UInteract with the lifestyle of today’s consumer, giving them the convenience of not only conducting business after hours but also on the go while making Missouri government more accessible to businesses and workers,” commented DES Director Chris Slinkard.
