Unemployment claims are a critical step to take if you have recently been subject to job loss and require unemployment benefits.  Understanding your benefits fully is vital to making sure you will be okay during your time unemployed.  Filing your unemployment claim is the first step to starting the process to receive unemployment benefits.  During your claim filing with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry you will need to provide all of the requested information in order to complete your claim process.
