Combined Wage Claims
The Combined Wage Claim (CWC) program allows an unemployed individual with employment and wages in more than one state to combine his/her wages to establish a CWC under the law of a single state to qualify for benefits. If you have earned wages in two or more states during the past 18 months, you may be eligible to combine those wages to establish a Combined Wage Claim. You may file a claim by calling 601-493-9427. Your claim for benefits will be effective the Sunday of the week the claim is filed.
