Nevada unemployment website down Saturday; gig workers not affected

Traditional unemployment benefit claimants will not be able to access the state unemployment insurance website Saturday.

The Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation announced it would temporarily shut down the UInv website, call centers and JobConnect websites for maintenance from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The statewide network upgrade is also expected to affect most state agency websites.

“Filers will not be able to file a claim or access the resource materials on the sites on Saturday or contact the UI call centers,” said DETR in a Wednesday news release. “Filers are encouraged to visit the aforementioned site and contact the call centers on Sunday to file claims.”

Filers eligible for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance system will not be affected by the outage and can still file their claim and contact the PUA Call Center.
