Oklahoma Unemployment Insurance

The Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) runs the state’s unemployment program. The OESC collects unemployment insurance taxes from Oklahoma employers. Those taxes are used to pay weekly unemployment benefits to jobless workers. In Oklahoma, you can file for unemployment on the internet, by phone, or at an Unemployment Insurance Center.

Oklahoma unemployment insurance provides temporary financial assistance to workers who have lost their jobs or had work hours significantly reduced through no fault of their own.  Those who qualify for unemployment insurance benefits can use benefit funds to supplement regular expenses while they search for suitable work.
