PUERTO RICO — To file a claim for unemployment assistance, please visit the Puerto Rico website at http://www.trabajo.pr.gov and file your claim online. Per guidance issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, this is the fastest method to file a claim.

If you were self-employed, were about to commence work, have little or no prior work history, and are unemployed as a result of the disaster, we can help you file a claim for Disaster Unemployment Assistance. Please call (877) 355-1135 to receive assistance.
