Unemployment

• Colorado Department of Labor and Employment | Unemployment Insurance: If you work for an employer that closed or reduced your hours to help stop the spread of COVID-19, you can file or reopen an unemployment claim.
• March 20 Adopted Emergency Rules for Unemployment Insurance:
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, Colorado is waiving the standard waiting-week requirement before benefits can be paid. This waiver applies to all claimants regardless of the reason for filing for any waiting week not yet served as of 03/15/20 and later until the Governor’s Executive Order expires.
  • The waiting week will be waived in the system and will not require manual intervention.
  • Claimants who are unemployed because their employers are closed to the public or otherwise unable to operate in their normal capacity as a direct result of an order by the Governor because of the COVID-19 pandemic may be job-attached for as long as the place of business is required to remain closed.
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, Colorado is waiving the requirement for claimants to perform work-search activities. Claimants must still register for work at connectingcolorado.com or with a local workforce center if the office is accepting in-person customers.
  • Work-search requirements will be waived in the system and will not require manual intervention.
  • Employer-Related: Benefits paid during a COVID-19 pandemic will be charged to the pool fund, not to the employer’s account and experience rate. Those employers who reimburse Colorado for benefits charged against their account will still be required to pay those benefit charges.

• Manufacturer’s Edge: Clarification on State and Local COVID-19 Public Health and Safety Orders
  Colorado Governor Jared Polis, local officials, and their staff are working tirelessly to reduce the spread of COVID-19 across the state and have issued “stay-at-home” and reduction of in-person workforce orders. “Essential businesses” are allowed to continue to operate. While we cannot provide you legal advice, based on our reading of the orders and the instructions we have received from the State, most manufacturers fall under the essential business category. The State has set up an official self-certification form called the Social Distancing Self-Certification Form for Business form for essential businesses. According to the State, this is the only form you need to be officially designated as “essential” and, thus, exempt from the stay-at-home orders in the state and in your county. Complete the form and have it readily available in hard copy should any government or law enforcement official ask for it.
