What Azui.com is and where to find the weekly claim form
Azui.com is the official website for Arizona's unemployment insurance system. It is run by the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). When you file a weekly claim, you are reporting to the state that you remain unemployed and still meet the program's requirements — this is how the state verifies you deserve the next payment.
The weekly claim form on Azui.com is not optional. If you are receiving unemployment benefits in Arizona, you must file a claim every week or your payments will stop. The form itself is short — usually five to ten questions — but you need to answer truthfully about your work search, any income you earned, and whether anything has changed about your situation.
You reach Azui.com by typing the address into your browser or searching "Arizona unemployment weekly claim". Bookmark it so you do not have to search each week. The site works on desktop, tablet, and phone, though the desktop version is easier to read if you are filling it out for the first time.
Key Takeaways
- You must file your weekly claim on Azui.com every week or your unemployment payments will stop, even if you have already been approved.
- The form asks about work search activity, any money you earned that week, and changes to your situation — answer all questions truthfully.
- You need your Social Security number and the password you created when you first registered; if you forgot your password, use the "Forgot Password" link before filing day.
- File as early in the week as possible so you have time to fix any errors before the important date, which is usually Sunday night or Monday morning depending on your claim week.
- If you earned money that week, report it — the state reduces your payment by a set amount per dollar earned, but you still receive a partial benefit.
How to log in and find the weekly claim form
Go to Azui.com and look for the login box on the home page. Enter your Social Security number in the first field and the password you created when you registered. If you have never logged in before, you will need to register first — the site will walk you through creating a username and password.
Once you are logged in, you will see a dashboard with several options. Look for a button or link that says "File Weekly Claim" or "Weekly Certification". It is usually near the top of the page or in a menu labeled "Claims" or "My Claims". Click it to open the form.
If you cannot find the weekly claim form, check whether you are logged into the correct account. Some people have multiple accounts by accident if they registered twice. If you are stuck, call the DES customer service line — the number is on the Azui.com home page — and they can tell you which account to use.
What information to have ready before you start
Gather these items before you open the form so you can fill it out without stopping:
- Your Social Security number (for login)
- A list of any jobs you applied for or contacted that week, including the employer name and the date you made contact
- The total amount of money you earned from any work during the week, including part-time jobs, gig work, or self-employment
- Any changes to your contact information, mailing address, or phone number
- Information about any job offers you received, if that happened
Arizona requires you to report work search activity — this means you must show that you looked for work during the week. The form will ask how many employers you contacted and what dates. If you did not search for work that week, you must report that too, and explain why (for example, you were sick or had a medical appointment). Lying about work search is fraud and can result in overpayment demands and penalties.
If you earned any money that week — even a small amount from a few hours of work — write down the total. Do not try to hide it. The state cross-checks earnings with employers, and if they find unreported income, you will owe back the overpayment plus interest.
Step-by-step: filling out the weekly claim form
Once the form opens, you will see a series of questions. Here is what to expect:
- Claim week dates: The form will show you the week it is asking about (usually Sunday through Saturday). Confirm these dates are correct before you answer anything else.
- Work search questions: The form will ask how many employers you contacted and on what dates. Enter the number and be specific about dates — "Tuesday" is better than "sometime this week". If you did not search for work, select that option and explain why.
- Earnings: Report the total amount of money you earned from any work during that week, before taxes. Include wages, tips, gig work, and self-employment income. If you earned nothing, enter zero.
- Job offers: If an employer offered you a job, report it. The form will ask whether you accepted or refused. If you refused, you may need to explain why.
- Changes to your situation: The form will ask whether anything changed — new address, new phone number, new job, return to work, or anything else material. Answer honestly.
- Certification: At the end, you will see a statement saying you swear the information is true. Read it carefully. By clicking "Submit" or "Certify", you are signing under penalty of perjury. Do not submit if anything on the form is wrong.
After you click submit, the form will show a confirmation number. Write this down or take a screenshot. Keep it until you see the payment hit your bank account.
Common mistakes that delay or stop your payment
The most frequent error is leaving a field blank. If the form requires an answer and you skip it, the system will usually reject the form and ask you to go back and fill it in. Read the error message carefully — it will tell you which field is missing.
Another common mistake is reporting work search activity that did not happen. If you did not contact any employers that week, say so. The state understands that some weeks you may not search — for example, if you were sick or had a medical appointment. But if you lie and say you contacted five employers when you contacted zero, and the state finds out, you can lose your benefits and owe back money.
Failing to report earnings is serious. Even if you only worked a few hours, report it. The state will reduce your payment, but you will still receive something. If you hide the income and the state finds out later, you will owe the full amount back plus penalties.
Missing the important date is another reason payments stop. Find out what day and time your claim week ends — it is usually Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. or Monday morning at a set time. File early in the week so you have time to fix problems if the form rejects.
What happens after you submit and when you will see your payment
After you submit the form, Azui.com will show a confirmation page with a reference number. This means the state received your claim. The form does not when ready approve or deny your payment — the state reviews it, usually within one business day.
If everything on your form is correct and you meet all the requirements, the payment will be deposited into your bank account or loaded onto your debit card (depending on how you set up payment) within two to three business days of filing. Some people see it the next day; others wait the full three days.
If there is a problem — for example, you reported earnings and the state needs to calculate your reduced payment, or you did not report work search and the state is investigating — the payment may be delayed. You will receive a notice in the mail or an email explaining what happened and what you need to do.
Check your bank account or debit card a few days after filing. If you do not see the payment within three business days, log back into Azui.com and check the status of your claim. The site will show whether it was approved, denied, or is still pending.
If you cannot log in or the form will not submit
If you forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password" link on the Azui.com login page. The site will send you a reset link to your email address. Check your spam folder if you do not see it in your inbox. Create a new password and try logging in again.
If you cannot remember your username, you can log in using your Social Security number instead — the login page accepts both.
If the form keeps rejecting your submission and you cannot figure out why, take a screenshot of the error message and call the DES customer service line. Have your Social Security number ready. The representative can see what is wrong with your form and help you fix it. Wait times are usually shorter early in the week, before the filing important date.
If the website is down or very slow, try again in a few hours or the next day. Azui.com sometimes has maintenance windows, usually at night. Do not wait until the last hour before the important date to file — file early so you have time to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I worked part of the week and was unemployed the rest?
Report the total amount you earned that week. Arizona reduces your weekly benefit by a percentage of what you earned, but you still receive a partial payment. For example, if your full benefit is $320 and you earned $100, the state will subtract part of that $100 from your payment. You will still receive something.
Do I have to report every single employer I contacted, or just a few?
Report all work search activity you did that week. If you contacted five employers, list all five. If you contacted none, say so and explain why. The state is checking that you are making a genuine effort to find work, not that you hit a certain number.
What if I get a job offer but I am not sure I want to take it?
Report the offer on your weekly claim. If you refuse it, be ready to explain why — for example, the pay was too low, the hours did not work for you, or the job was not in your field. The state may ask follow-up questions. Refusing a suitable job without good reason can disqualify you.
Can I file my weekly claim late, or do I have to file by a certain time?
You must file by the important date set for your claim week, usually Sunday night or Monday morning. Filing late will delay your payment or stop it entirely. If you miss the important date, contact DES when ready to ask whether you can file a late claim. Some situations allow it, but it is not may provide.
What if the form asks about something that does not explore to me?
Answer the question as honestly as you can. If a question asks about job offers and you did not receive any, say no. If it asks about a change of address and your address did not change, say no. Do not leave fields blank — fill in every field the form requires, even if the answer is zero or no.
