Employee Rights in North Carolina

Applications for unemployment benefits are submitted online through the website for the North Carolina Division of Employment Security (DES).  The statement in the following video that applications for unemployment benefits can be made at a local DES office is no longer correct.  Unemployment benefits claims can last from 12 to 20 weeks, depending on the current level of unemployment in the State of North Carolina.  The statement in the video that an unemployment benefits claim is for 13 weeks is not correct.
