State Unemployment Benefits in Kansas

The Kansas Department of Labor administers unemployment insurance through the claimant portal at KansasUI.gov. KDOL publishes one procedure that applies after a claimant dies: a family member or the estate's executor may request the claimant's 1099-G by mail, with a copy of the death certificate and proof of executorship. Anything else about a deceased claimant's account goes through the Unemployment Contact Center.
