BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Officials with the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) say individuals seeking unemployment benefits should actively check their HiRE accounts to track the status of their claim.
In a virtual news conference on Friday, Jan. 8, LWC Secretary Ava Dejoie addressed a number of concerns in regards to unemployment benefits.
Dejoie says the department’s main method of communication is via an applicant’s HiRE account.
Those seeking jobless benefits are asked to monitor their account closely and follow all directions provided by LWC. It is up to LWC to provide follow-up instructions once all documents have been submitted.
