State Unemployment Benefits in Utah

The Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS) administers unemployment insurance through its Unemployment Insurance Division. Utah does not publish a procedure for a deceased claimant's benefits: contact the Claims Assistance and Re-Employment (CARE) Team to report the death and to ask what DWS requires for any balance on the claim. Benefits paid to a claimant who was not entitled to them create an overpayment.
