The Division processes work in a statewide manner, therefore documents submitted for eligibility determination is distributed to staff in locations across the state for processing. Due to electronic document record keeping processes, the division is able to process incoming work as it is received in any location staff are working.   The majority of staff in the division are working from home.
 
Business hours are weekdays from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Interviews are conducted telephonically: Monday-Friday from 8:00am to 3:00pm. 
 
The division is looking to expand working hours from 7:00am to 7:00pm and to include Saturdays in the near future. This change would also allow for an expanded timeframe to schedule required interviews beyond 8:00am to 3:00pm.
