Oklahoma Unemployment Application
Before filing your Oklahoma unemployment application, you should make sure that you are eligible to get unemployment benefits from the state of Oklahoma. Since each state varies on eligibility requirements, there are several things you should know. In Oklahoma, you must have been employed for the first four of the last five full calendar quarters immediately before the first of the year you are filing, and you must have worked for an employer who is governed by the Oklahoma unemployment compensation law. Additionally, you cannot have voluntarily left your job or be refusing to work for any reason.
Once you know you are eligible to file an Oklahoma unemployment application, you can file online through the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission website or over the phone by calling 800-555-1554. If you would rather talk to someone in person, you can go to the nearest Oklahoma Employment Security Commission office. Filing online through the Oklahoma Employment Security Website at http://www.oesc.state.ok.us is fast and easy. Not only do they give you the guidelines for filing, you can get information on the direct deposit requirements. The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission no longer mails out paper checks. If you do not have a checking account, they will mail you a reloadable debit card.
