There are multiple methods of filing for your North Carolina unemployment. Getting the process started as soon as possible after you know you’re going to be unemployed is imperative.
Many states such as North Carolina require that you do what is known as a waiting week before their unemployment benefits will begin. It is a common myth that you must wait to file for a week after you become unemployed. This is untrue and in fact your waiting week that must be accomplished isn’t begun until you’ve filed for your benefits so if you wait a week prior to filing, you have not accomplished a waiting week, but must wait another week prior to having checks sent to you.
In addition you may in fact lose benefits that you have coming to you. Filing for North Carolina unemployment may take place on the North Carolina unemployment website which is found at
