Unemployment
On Monday, September 7, 2026, the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES) and the American Job Center locations will be closed in observance of Labor Day. Please be advised, if you receive unemployment insurance benefits, payments may be delayed due to the DOES and American Job Center locations closure. We will be available to assist you in-person or by telephone on all other weekdays. Thank you.
