Unemployment Benefits
RSA 282-A:31 — registered for work and meeting the conditions the commissioner finds
An unemployed person is eligible for benefits for a week only if the commissioner finds that they are registered for work and report as the rules require, and meet the other conditions the section lists.
Who handles this in New Hampshire: 211 NH and New Hampshire Free Legal Answers; and legal aid programs and the state offices, listed in the New Hampshire directory.
The disqualifications are set out in their own section, among them any period for which proper and timely claims were not filed.
