How to Stop Your Claim
To stop your claim:
- After your first week of full-time work, stop requesting payments. Once you have returned to full-time work, you are no longer eligible for unemployment benefits, even if you have a balance remaining on your claim.
- Report the date you expect to return to work by going to WorkInTexas.com, selecting the Tell Us You're Hired link, and completing the message form.
- If you have not received payment for the waiting week, see Waiting Week.
How to Stop Your Work Registration
You can continue searching for jobs in WorkInTexas.com even if you stop your claim or get a full-time job. You also can stop your WorkInTexas.com work registration, or allow it to automatically become inactive after 60 days with no logon.
Once you get a full-time job, notify Workforce Solutions of your new employer's name and your start date in one of the following ways:
- Go to www.WorkInTexas.com
- Without logging on, just select Tell Us You’re Hired from the middle right side of the home page. Follow the prompts to send a message to Workforce Staff.
- If you logon, select the Messages & Alerts tab at the top right hand side of the page. Then select Workforce Staff from the Messages and Alerts Inbox page to compose a message to staff.
- Contact your nearest Workforce Solutions office in person or on the telephone to share your good news.
