What happens if I forgot to file my weekly claim certification for unemployment benefits?

If you forget to file your weekly claim certification for unemployment benefits, it may result in a delay or interruption in receiving your benefits. It is important to file your claim certification every week as it confirms your ongoing eligibility for the benefits. Failure to do so may require additional steps to resume your benefits, such as reopening your claim or providing a valid reason for the missed certification. Each state may have specific guidelines and deadlines regarding missed claim certifications, so it is crucial to contact the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training as soon as possible to rectify the situation and ensure timely processing of your unemployment benefits.
