some of the things you’re going to want to remember are that you will want to begin as soon as you know you’re going to be out of work, and to file immediately.

If your state is, as Maine is, one of the states where you are required to do a waiting week, that week does not begin, until you have opened an unemployment claim. Many people believe they need to wait a week prior to filing. This is not the case. Filing immediately is your best bet. Waiting for the filing until you’ve been out of work for a few days will stall the process and could leave you waiting for a check that you don’t want to wait for.

You can file for unemployment benefits be either going online, via telephone, or through the  regular postal mail after applying in person.You will need to have the following information available to you no matter how you file

* Your Social Security Number or Alien Registration Number;
* The business name, address and telephone number of each job that you may have worked at during the past 18 months; and
* The jobs you held and the dates you worked .

Once you file your claim, you will get the Benefits Rights Booklet and weekly claim forms in the mail.
Filing Online

You can file online from any computer that has an internet connection. If you’re not online at home you can use the careercenter computers at the unemployment offices of Maine, or you may usually find one at your local library.

You may file new unemployment claims, reopen  existing accounts, or file a weekly unemployment claim online but you may NOT file for emergency Unemployment Benefits Extensions online in the state of Maine.

Additionally you may file by telephone but Maine advises that due to increased call volumes your wait times may be excessive.

Filing for Unemployment in Maine is a post from: Maine Unemployment Help

Gathering what you need to keep your household functioning at top capacity is a necessity from the time that you spend your last day at work. Fortunately, given the current economy, most states, including Maine have implemented some additional benefits aside from the standard unemployment that goes with losing your job through no fault of your own.
Maine Unemployment rate is currently less than the national average, which honestly isn’t helpful if you’re one of the unemployed does it? Standing just below 8 percent, the unemployment in Maine is well higher than normal, and unemployment benefits are extended to reflect that fact.

Maine unemployment can be applied for in various ways, including telephone, internet, and in person. The most convenient, secure and least invasive of course will be to apply on the internet.
When you receive your Maine unemployment you can expect to get about half what you made in your highest quarter. For example, if your wages for your  highest quarter are 6000, that figure is divided by 22 to get the answer to your weekly check amount. In this case, for someone who made about 2200 a month, they will bring home 1090, or about half their monthly salary. That is however capped. In their infinite wisdom most states say that you cannot gather in more than 350 or 400 per week in unemployment. Maine’s cap figure is 356 per week, so regardless of your salary and taxes paid you cannot gather more than 350 odd dollars per week in unemployment.

Fortunately there are other things which may help you aside from unemployment when you are out of work in Maine.
