You will have to wait until after your first week not working because the claim is retrospective (i.e. did you work the previous week?). There may also be a waiting week for benefits, though I believe most state have now waived that so you now get paid from week 1. Once a claim is established, it stays active for a year, so even when you go back to work, you can reopen the claim after any week of not working.

- Just updated to include that, but in my experience you still cannot file a claim until after that first week of not working is complete. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 08:08 6
  - So, I think they've changed all that due to COVID-19. But it's still confusing. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 2, 08:22 1
    - Hope you're able to get it all figured out. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 08:25
  - My wife got cut to 16 hours from 14 so it was really tricky to fill ours out. Did you work last week? yes - Bacon Apr 2, 08:10 3
    - This is probably one area where there is a lot of variation between states, when I've claimed its been prorated based on days worked, not hours. -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 08:12 2
      - that would suck. She is working from home so she spreads her 16 hours over the week. It's an easy fix for her, to just report it to her boss differe -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 08:16 1
        
        Just told the wife this so she can report 2 days worked just in case -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 08:17
