Idaho Labor Department operating
|
|
October 1, 2013 |
Despite the partial shutdown of the federal
government, the Idaho Department of Labor is
operating normally. Unemployment insurance
benefits are being paid, and employment services
being provided throughout the department’s
network of 25 local offices.
In addition, workers furloughed from the various
federal agencies directly affected by the
shutdown are eligible to file for unemployment
insurance compensation since these workers are
becoming unemployed through no fault of their
own.
For additional questions, contact an
unemployment staff member at (208) 332-3842.
Twenty-three of the 25 department local offices
are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Thursday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday. The
Wood River office in Bellevue is open from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and
closed Thursday and Friday. The Soda Springs
office is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday
through Thursday and closed Friday.
