Oklahoma Unemployment Phone Numbers
As you apply for Oklahoma unemployment insurance benefits, you may run into situations that require assistance. At any point in the process, you can reach out to an Oklahoma unemployment office and talk with a customer service representative about your claim. You can call locally or toll-free if you’re not currently living in Oklahoma. The state also provides services you can access through a text telephone system for those who are hearing impaired.
You also can complete several different tasks associated with your unemployment insurance claim over the phone. For example, you can file your initial claim by phone, and you can also use the state’s telephone system to file a weekly claim.
You can also check on missing payments or find out the status of your direct deposit if that’s how you’ve chosen to receive your UI benefits. And if you have any questions related to your form 1099 G and subsequent filing of your taxes, or if you need to report suspected unemployment fraud, you can do all of this by calling the appropriate Oklahoma unemployment line shown below.
If you don’t have Internet service to access the Oklahoma Internet claim system and visiting a physical Oklahoma employment office isn’t available to you, handling these types of tasks over the phone can be a tremendous benefit.

Information to have when calling the Oklahoma Unemployment Office
Before you make your call to the Oklahoma unemployment office, it’s important to make sure you have all the needed information close at hand. There’s a good possibility that the customer service representative you speak with will have questions about your initial claim, your benefits, and/or your account.
Gathering all of your documentation ahead of time can help speed up the process and make sure you have everything you need to allow your representative to help you.
Here are a few items you’ll likely need:
- Relevant personal information – This includes your Social Security number, driver’s license or other state ID number, complete contact information, including address and telephone number. If you’re a non-citizen, you will need your Alien Registration number.
- Former employer information – It’s likely that the customer service representative you speak with will have questions about your previous employer. It’s a good idea to be prepared with the name and complete address of your former employer, along with your former immediate supervisor’s name and the reason for your separation from employment.
- Employment history – You’ll need the name and complete contact information for every employer you worked for over the previous 18 months. In addition, make sure you know your start date and your end date of employment for each job. You’ll also need to report the wages you earned from each of these employers.
- Work search documentation – To submit your weekly claims for benefits, you’ll need all information regarding how you’ve been compliant with Oklahoma unemployment work search requirements for the period you’re certifying.
- Additional information – If you are a former member of the U.S. military, make sure you have your form DD214 if you served in the military over the last 18 months. If you were a federal government employee over the last 18 months, you also will need your Form SF 8 or SF 50.
Please know that an important part of the Oklahoma unemployment insurance claim process is the verification of your identity, which all claimants will need to do as a protection against unemployment fraud and identity theft. For this process, make sure you have a driver’s license or other state-issued I.D. or a resident/green card if you are not a U.S. citizen. You’ll need to complete this part of the process either online or in person. Once you connect by phone with a customer service representative, they can advise on your best option for completing this portion of the process.
Oklahoma Unemployment Office Locations
As you navigate the Oklahoma unemployment process, there may be times when you benefit from visiting an office location to access more individual unemployment support. Visiting an unemployment office in person expands the services you’re able to access. All Oklahoma unemployment offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exclusion of state holidays.
Visiting an Oklahoma unemployment office location allows you to access several resources that aren’t necessarily available over the phone. For example, you can have direct access to a career services representative who can help you with personalized career guidance, planning and counseling.
You can access job resources like a common job board, job fairs, and recruitment assistance. The Oklahoma unemployment offices can also provide labor market information and referrals to community partners and other community resources. You can access job readiness coaching and preparation, plus training and apprenticeship opportunities.
While engaging with the Oklahoma unemployment office may be convenient and appropriate for some tasks you need to complete related to your unemployment insurance claim, visiting an unemployment office in person adds depth and variety to the type of services and support you can access. An in-person presence allows you to build relationships with the staff who are there to support you.
