Job Service North Dakota administers unemployment insurance. Its Claims Center can be reached at (701) 328-4995, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Under N.D.C.C. 52-06-29, benefits due and payable to a deceased claimant may be paid to the person Job Service North Dakota finds would best effectuate the purposes of the unemployment compensation law. This need not follow the rules for descent and distribution of estates, and a receipt from that person discharges the fund and the bureau from further liability.
