Unemployment Self-Help Options and Lobby Scheduling

This form is intended to help claimants figure out the fastest way to get help with their claim and, if necessary,  request in-person appointments at the Unemployment Insurance (UI) lobby located at 621 17th Street, Suite 100 Denver, CO 80202.

After reviewing feedback from a large number of UI claimants, our division has made the decision that starting in February 2024, we will move to in-person help by appointment only. In-person lobby assistance will only be offered to those claimants who have made a scheduled appointment in advance.

Our lobby availability is limited to no more than 40 appointments per day, so we strongly encourage claimants to use the self-help options whenever possible. Our goal is to preserve the lobby for those claimants who are in the most need: those with no access to technology, limited technological skills, or special assistive needs.

If you are simply dropping off paperwork or forms, you do not need to make an appointment. We have a secure dropbox available in the lobby from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Our primary self-service option is MyUI+, the central place to file a new claim or manage your existing claim (including requesting benefit payments, reviewing your tax information, updating your address or other contact information, reactivating your claim if you become unemployed again, and much more). You can log into MyUI+ here: MyUI+ Claimant Login .
