Missouri Unemployment Weekly Claims
Updated : June 20th, 2019
After you have filed a new claim, or renewed an existing claim, you will need to file a weekly certification for each week and, if required, you also must search for work.
A claim week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. You must wait until the week is over before you make the weekly certification for benefits. Beginning on the Sunday after you file your initial or renewed claim, you should file your first weekly certification. Continue to file each week until you return back to work. You must file your weekly certification within 14 days from the end of the week (Saturday) you are claiming.
Internet: Visit www.moclaim.mo.gov. Make sure you complete the form and receive a confirmation page, or you will have to start again.
Telephone: Call the number for your area RCC. Your call will be answered by the automated (IVR) system. Choose the option of filing a claim, and answer the recorded questions, using 1 for “Yes” and 9 for “No”.

Whether using the Internet or telephone to file, you may only claim the weeks presented to you, which will not exceed the three prior weeks. If you have any problems or questions, call your area RCC. Once you have completed the weekly filing, you must contact your area RCC to change or correct an answer.
I did my weekly claim on 1/19/2020 and did another one on 1/27/2020 and they both say payment pending due to protest period how long does the protest period take.
Valerie,
The protest period is 10 days. Please read more here – https://labor.mo.gov/DES/Employers/employer_protest
what does protest week mean?
Hollie,
It is the time period during which your employer has an opportunity to contest your claim.
Does anyone know what payment pending 10 day AIC means?
Jim,
It probably means the timeframe of 10 days given to your employer to lodge a protest if they think you should not qualify. Please reach out to the Unemployment Office for clarification.
What does scheduled for processing mean?
Michael,
It perhaps means your claim is ready to be processed after initial verification. Please call the Claims Center for details.

Betty,
You need to login to the website to be able to report your work searches by filling the form. Please call the Claims Center for help.
If my claim says issue on file and my employer didn’t file a protest will I still be denied? I was fired because they said I was rude to other employees. But I was not given a warning and I never knew I was rude to anyone
Christi,
If you can prove you were not “Rude” and were well within the limits, please consider “Appealing” the decision.
