Keep Your Claim Moving

 Manage your claim in MyUI+

Once you have filed your claim you will be able to:

• See your claim status
• Request payments weekly
• Manage your information
• Respond to communications from CDLE

If you receive a notification that you have received a communication from CDLE, you can access it in MyUI+. To receive notifications, always log in to MyUI+ and navigate to the “View Correspondences” tab on the left side of the screen.

 Register with your local Workforce Center through ConnectingColorado

After submitting your claim, you are required to register with ConnectingColorado within seven days of your claim filing date. If you do not register with ConnectingColorado, your claim could be delayed or moved to an inactive status. To register, go to ConnectingColorado and click “Register As a Job Seeker” on the main page. Follow the instructions to complete registration, indicating that your registration (or updated registration) is the result of a UI claim. If you want to register for work in person at your local workforce center, please visit our Find Your Workforce Center page.

 Complete your weekly Work Search Activities Every Week

You are required to complete work search activities weekly while collecting UI benefits. Work search activities include:

• Submitting applications for work which you are reasonably qualified
• Uploading resumes to online job boards
• Completing skills-assessments for positions for which you are reasonably qualified
• Interviewing for new roles, and more

Make sure to record dates on which you completed work search activities so you can report them in your weekly payment request and certification. For more information on work-search activities, visit our Work Search Activities page or check out our one-pager.

Federal employees who are separated due to the government shutdown are considered job-attached and will not be required to conduct a job search during the furlough. Select yes to any question asking if you are job-attached. We suggest selecting January 5, 2026 as your return to work date. 

 Report any income received

When you request payment and complete your weekly certification, you will be asked to report any income earned within the week for which you are requesting payment. You are able to collect up to 50% of your benefit amount without impacting your benefit amount. When you report earnings for the week, report your gross earnings—the total amount you earned prior to any deductions (taxes, child support, etc.). You will also need to report the location and number of hours worked.
