It is not difficult to file a claim for unemployment benefits in North Carolina. You have several options as to how you go about the original claim. Just the fact that you are now out of a job is difficult enough so it is a relief to find out that it is easy to get the help that you need until you find employment.
There are three main ways to do it. One of them, probably the easiest is online. This can be very quick too so that you might find you have filed and registered for work in less than half an hour. Once you have made the claim online you can not change or update what you have written for four weeks. This is done as a measure to protect against erroneous claims processing. If you do want to make any changes before the end of the four week limit you can do so by contacting ESC (Employment Security Commission).
Some people who would like to file their claim online are worried about security and we do recommend that you change your PIN from time to time. Take care that you never tell anyone this PIN number. When you change your PIN you should enter your last name, date of birth and sex so as to confirm your identity and this must match exactly the information in the ESC: records. If you use different punctuation for example an extra comma, it won´t match and you will not be successful in creating a new PIN. Your user ID which is your Social Security account number and your PIN will give you access to online filing and also Jobs Line and you can in fact use either to file your weekly claim.
The security system used by ESC industry standard security, using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption and VeriSign Certificate of Authority. If you are interested in learning more about E.S.C security you can check on Browser Information and Settings of course after you have finished filing your claim online you must always make sure that you logout correctly and close your browser program to be sure of keeping your information private. T
hose who file their claim by telephone will not receive their benefits payments any later than those who file online on the same day. Weekly telephone claims are staggered between Monday and Tuesday though, so if you file online you can make your claim earlier. To claim by telephone you can use the toll-free number 1-877-841-9617. This number is available for you to file your initial claim 24 hours a day and every day of the week. If you prefer to file your claim in person you can of course go to the nearest E.S.C. office. There is a complete list of E.S.C. offices which you could find by the contact E.S.C. link or online using the online locator- E.S.C. office locator.
