Kumho has stated that they will file for unemployment on behalf of laid off employees. However, laid off employees should still log-in to elect your payment method, elect to have state and/or federal taxes withheld, if you want, and check your status.

You have the option of using direct deposit or getting a card in the mail. Direct deposit is typically faster – but you must log-in to set it up.
