If you were fired because you lacked the skills to perform the job or simply weren't a good fit, you won't necessarily be barred from receiving benefits. However, if you were fired for misconduct relating to your job, you will be disqualified from receiving benefits.

New Hampshire looks at your “base period”, which is normally the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters prior to the effective date of the claim. The minimum earnings required for eligibility are $2800 ($1400 each in 2 separate quarters), which would result in a $32 weekly benefit amount.

Contact the department by calling the UNEMPLOYMENT HOTLINE at (603) 271-7700 or by visiting any of the NHWORKS OFFICES.

First Payable Week Is Waiting Week You must still file timely for the week and all weeks for which you wish to receive benefits after opening your initial claim. The department will determine which week will be served as the waiting week. This waiting week will not reduce your total available benefits.

New Hampshire State Unemployment Tax & Rate Employers are also charged a surcharge tax called the Administrative Contribution (AC) rate, which is 0.4% for a total contribution of 2.7%. Rates can be reduced by any Fund Reduction or increased from any Emergency Power Surcharge in place for the applicable quarter.

Weekly claims, also known as Continued Claims, filed on Saturday or Sunday are normally processed on Monday evening and eligible benefit payments and documents issued on Tuesday morning.
