Nevada Unemployment

Who’s in charge of Nevada Unemployment Insurance Benefits?

Unemployment Insurance is administered by the Nevada Department of Employment, Training, and Rehabilitation (DETR). Unemployment insurance benefits in Nevada give temporary financial support to jobless employees who have lost their jobs due to no fault of their own and who also fulfill certain other criteria.

Employers in Nevada pay all costs of unemployment aid through an employer tax, which is administered by the Nevada Employment Security Division. This initiative is not funded by a deduction from employee pay.

How Do I Apply for Nevada Unemployment Benefits?

The Claimant Self Service portalin Nevada is the quickest way for a worker to make an unemployment compensation claim. If you do not have access to the Internet, you can file by contacting any of Nevada’s Telephone Claim Centers between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The following are the contact numbers for the call center:

Northern UI Call Center: 775-684-0350
Southern UI Call Center: 702-486-0350
Rural areas and Out-of-State: 888-890-8211

How Do I Appeal a Nevada Unemployment Decision?

If you disagree with a decision about your claim, you have 11 days from the day your claim denial is mailed to file an appeal. The particular processes for filing an appeal will be outlined in your determination letter.

The Nevada appeals procedure is intended to give a fair and unbiased hearing to further investigate an unemployment insurance claim.

You or someone you designate as an authorized agent must submit your appeal request in writing and sign it. Your entire name, address, and Social Security number should also be included.

Following the submission of your appeal, a state-employed impartial Appeals Referee will hold a hearing in which you will be requested to participate.

Two to three weeks after your hearing, the Appeals Referee will provide a revised ruling. The judgment of the Appeals Referee can then be appealed to Nevada’s Board of Review, provided the request is made within 11 days after the Appeals Referee’s ruling.

How Do I Report a Nevada Unemployment Fraud?

Unemployment insurance fraud is a serious crime in Nevada, and it includes everything from making false statements on a benefit claim to withholding information in order to obtain benefits, as well as failing to report employment and income during the week for which unemployment benefits are claimed.

Filing an unemployment claim while jailed, permitting someone person to do so on your behalf, or claiming UI benefits under a name or Social Security number other than your own are all examples of fraud.

If you suspect fraud, you may report it online or call 775-684-0475 and pick option 4 from the automated menu.

What if I quit?

In general, you are not eligible if you leave your work freely.

If you quit for “good cause,” though, you may be able to collect. The state unemployment office determines what constitutes good reason, and you can make your case for getting benefits.

You should be entitled to a hearing if your claim is denied so that you can explain your claim. You should contact your local office because regulations and conditions differ from state to state.
