The Electronic Mass Claims Filing system is designed to assist employers and their employees during a temporary mass layoff. Employee information provided by the employer allows the Division to quickly and efficiently file unemployment insurance claims. A benefit claim is activated automatically for each employee without calling a Regional Claims Center.

Employers using this system must have an active Missouri Division of Employment Security account number for which they have filed all required reports and paid contributions due for all past and current periods.

This filing method is available when workers are totally unemployed during a payroll week because of a temporary mass layoff of twenty or more workers. To use this filing method, the temporary layoff cannot exceed eight consecutive weeks.

The employer is responsible for providing accurate and complete data on their employees using the Division provided electronic format. Incomplete or inaccurate data may result in processing delays or improper payments.
