unemployment claims

Out-of-work applications

Unemployment claims are applications filed by workers who have lost their jobs to receive government benefits.

The term usually appears in economic reporting, where weekly unemployment claims serve as an indicator of labor market health: Initial unemployment claims rose to 250,000 last week.

Filing a claim initiates the process; approval determines whether benefits are paid.
