Disaster Assistance
In order to qualify for disaster unemployment benefits your employment or self-employment must have been lost or interrupted as a direct result of a major disaster, and you must have been determined not to be eligible for regular state unemployment insurance. Major disasters have been declared in some counties in Oklahoma, and information on filing for benefits is available online.

To apply for federal diaster aid, register online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or call 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or by web enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov. To apply for unemployment, file a claim online or call the OESC Unemployment Insurance Service Center at 405-525-1500 (inside the OKC calling area) or at 1-800-555-1554.
Check with the unemployment office (Oklahoma Claimant Information) website for more information on eligibility, filing a claim for unemployment and for updates on your claim. Offices may have lost power, so there may be delays in processing applications and weekly claims. If there are delays, you will not lose any benefits. However your unemployment payment may be delayed.
