ARM 24.40.841. INACTIVE CLAIMS--REACTIVATING A CLAIM

(1) A claim for benefits becomes inactive if a claimant does not request benefit payments for four consecutive weeks. If a claim remains inactive after the end of the claim's benefit year, the claimant must file a new claim for benefits. (2) A claimant may reactivate a claim during the claim's benefit year by: (a) calling the department and requesting that the claim be reactivated; or (b) accessing the department's online portal and following the instructions to reactivate the claim. (3) To reactivate a claim, a claimant must provide any information relevant to claim qualifications or eligibility, including any separation from insured employment. (4) A reactivated claim is effective on the Sunday of the calendar week in which the claimant reactivates the claim. (5) The department may backdate a reactivated claim if the claimant shows good cause for the delay in reactivating the claim.
