Frequently Asked Questions

What is UInteract and how do I use it for Missouri unemployment?

UInteract is Missouri's online unemployment system where you can file your initial claim, certify weekly, check payment status, and upload documents. If you're having trouble accessing UInteract β€” locked account, verification errors, or system errors during certification β€” calling DOLIR directly is the fastest way to resolve it.

How long do I have to appeal a Missouri DES determination?

You have 30 calendar days from the mailing date of the decision to file an appeal. Missouri's appeals process goes first to a Deputy, then to the Missouri Division of Employment Security Appeals Tribunal. Acting within the first two weeks and gathering your separation documentation strengthens your case.
