Vermont Unemployment Application
To establish a Vermont unemployment application online, you can visit the Vermont Department of Labor Website located at https://uipublic.labor.vermont.gov/Claimantportal/portal/login.aspx. This online application will take you directly to the Vermont Department of Labor claimant portal where you can fill out a Vermont unemployment application. You will be asked to log in with your social security number and to create a PIN as a password. This allows you to file a Vermont unemployment application and to file your weekly claim.
