Interpreters are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.To be eligible for unemployment benefits, a worker must lose his job through no fault of his own and must look for work each week. Applicants will need their Social Security number, the names and addresses of all employers for the last two years, their dates of employment and the reason they left each job.
