When filing a new claim, you will need to provide the complete name and address for each employer for whom you have worked during the last 18 months. You must also provide the date you began working and the date you last worked for each employer. You will be asked to provide your driver’s license or stateissued identification number, if you have one. If you are not a U.S. citizen or National, you will be asked to provide your alien registration number and the date your work authorization expires.
