"This new service is beneficial to unemployed workers in a variety of ways," said Rod Chapel, director of the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations. "It allows another method of accessing unemployment claims information and it expands the hours of service since the claims information may be viewed online 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The online claims inquiry system will show the amount of weekly benefit payments the unemployed worker will receive, maximum amount on the claim, balance left on the claim, history of past payments and provide an explanation if benefits were denied for a specific week.
