We Are NOT a Government Agency

ClaimReady is a private, independent preparation service. We have no affiliation with the U.S. Department of Labor, any state unemployment office, or any government entity. We do not file claims on your behalf, we are not your legal representative, and we cannot access your claim status or government records.

Our service helps you understand the process, organize your documents, and prepare your filing package — but you submit it yourself directly to your state's unemployment office. For official government assistance, visit your state's Department of Labor website.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you file my unemployment claim for me? +
No. ClaimReady is a preparation service only. We organize your information, explain the process for your specific state, and deliver a ready-to-submit package — but you file it directly with your state's unemployment office. We cannot act as your representative or agent.
Are you a government agency or affiliated with one? +
Absolutely not. ClaimReady is a private company. We have no affiliation with federal or state government agencies, the Department of Labor, or any unemployment office. There are free resources available through your state — we simply offer a paid preparation service for people who want extra guidance.
What do I get for $19.99? +
You receive a downloadable package tailored to your state, including: the correct forms for your situation, a step-by-step instruction guide, a document checklist, a cover letter template, and submission instructions (mail or electronic depending on your state).
What does the $4.99 resume service include? +
We build a professional resume from the information you provide. It's formatted to be clean and ATS-friendly (readable by employer software), delivered in both Word and PDF formats, and includes tips for sending it to employers in your field.
My state files electronically — can you still help? +
Yes. Most states now file electronically. We provide a checklist of everything you'll need before you log in to your state's portal, plus a guide explaining each section of the online application — so you're fully prepared before you start.
How do I pay and how long does it take? +
We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe — a secure, industry-standard payment processor. Once payment is confirmed, we typically deliver your package within 24–48 hours via email.
