Louisiana Unemployment Contact Information

Louisiana Unemployment Phone Numbers

The Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System, “Easy Call,” gives user-friendly access to general information concerning services provided by the different offices of the Louisiana Workforce Commission and provides certain services by telephone rather than in person or by mail.

You may call for general information and to find out about your benefits Tuesday through Saturday. No payment information is available on Monday, as claims filed late Friday through Monday are not processed until Monday night.

To file your initial and continued claim, call the “Easy Call” number 1-866-783-5567 (toll-free).

When you can call

There are only certain times you can call the help line. The schedule for calling is based on the last four digits of your Social Security Number (SSN).

Phone: 1-866-783-5567 Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.  

• If your SSN ends with 0000-2499, your designated call-in day is Monday.
• SSNs ending with 2500-4999 should call on Tuesdays.
• SSNs ending with 5000-7499 have Wednesdays as the designated call-in day.
• SSNs ending with 7500-9999 should call on Thursdays.
• Fridays are open to anyone needing assistance.

Note: When you file a reconsideration, you must have your monetary determination, your Social Security Card, W-2 form, check stubs or any other proof of wages earned, and the name(s) and address(es) of employers that you worked for during the base period of your claim.

If you are disconnected or hang up before the system tells you that your claim has been processed, you will have to call again to file your claim. You will have five seconds to respond to the message, and then the selections will be repeated. If there is no response after the second time, the system will disconnect.

If you get a busy signal when you are trying to file your claims, wait a few minutes and try again.
