To better serve our claimants and prevent Unemployment Insurance fraud, the Georgia Department of Labor (GDOL) is partnering with ID.me to verify claimant identification.

Effective June 29, 2023, the Employer-Filed Partial Claims (EFC) program was reinstated to reflect the amended Georgia Employment Security Rule. Due to increased fraud nationally, the department has incorporated more safeguards to protect taxpayers, claimants, and employers against Unemployment Insurance (UI) fraud.

Adopted rules and certification of adopted rules filed with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on June 1, 2023.

The Kings Bay Career Center will be open Tuesday only from 8AM - 4:30PM beginning May 30, 2023.
