Registration approval can take up to 1-2 weeks to process. If any good standing verifications come back needing clarification, an email will be sent to the contact information provided on the registration.

Before submitting, keep the following requirements in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recommended Submission Timeline:<\/strong> Submit your application at least 45 days before the training start date.

claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You only need to verify your identity with Login.gov OR ID.me \u2014 not both.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important: Start in WYUI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not go directly to Login.gov to begin identity verification for your unemployment claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start from <a href=\"http:\/\/wyui.wyo.gov\"><strong>WYUI.wyo.gov<\/strong><\/a> and select the option to verify with Login.gov. This connects your completed verification to your Wyoming unemployment claim.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Already Have a Login.gov Account?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to create a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start from <strong>WYUI<\/strong> and select <strong>Verify with Login.gov<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Sign in<\/strong> and enter the email address and password you already use for Login.gov.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete your usual Login.gov security step.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the instructions Login.gov provides. Depending on your account and previous identity verification, Login.gov may ask you to complete additional steps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review the information Login.gov will share with Wyoming Unemployment Insurance and follow the prompts to continue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue until Login.gov confirms that your identity verification was submitted and shared with the Wyoming Unemployment Insurance Division.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Login.gov will not automatically return you to WYUI when you are finished.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New to Login.gov?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t already have a Login.gov account, you can create one as part of the identity verification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before You Begin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have the following available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An email address you can access<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A way to complete Login.gov&#8217;s account security process<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Social Security number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/login.gov\/help\/verify-your-identity\/accepted-id-type\/\">An accepted photo ID, such as a U.S. driver&#8217;s license or state-issued ID, U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Login.gov will guide you through the available options throughout the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Step 1: Create Your Login.gov Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select <strong>Create an account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check your email for a message from Login.gov and select the link to confirm your email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a Login.gov password.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose an authentication method and follow the instructions to secure your account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Step 2: Connect to Wyoming Unemployment Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Login.gov asks you to continue to your state&#8217;s unemployment insurance agency, select <strong>Agree and continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This allows you to continue with identity verification for your Wyoming unemployment claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Step 3: Verify Your Identity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Login.gov will guide you through the identity verification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the method you choose, you may be asked to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide photos of an accepted photo ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a selfie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your Social Security number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review and confirm your personal information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete additional steps to verify your information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow the instructions you see on the screen.

If you receive a personal key, save it somewhere safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you finish, review the information Login.gov will share with Wyoming Unemployment Insurance and follow the prompts to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">How Do I Know I&#8217;m Finished?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are finished when Login.gov displays the <strong>Next steps for Unemployment Claim Identity Verification<\/strong> page and confirms that your identity verification was submitted and shared with the Wyoming Unemployment Insurance Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Login.gov will not automatically return you to WYUI.

Your employer just needs proof of your age on file, such as a birth certificate or another form of identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can a 14- or 15-year-old work any shift if their parents approve?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Parents cannot override federal work-hour restrictions. For example, 14- and 15-year-olds cannot work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>During school hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than three hours on a school day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than 18 hours in a school week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m. (9 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Are the rules different for small businesses?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>Almost all Wyoming employers must follow federal child labor laws. Only very small businesses that meet strict criteria (fewer than two employees, under $500,000 in annual sales, operating entirely within Wyoming) may follow state-only rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can minors operate basic equipment like slicers or mixers?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A:<\/strong> Many common machines are off-limits for minors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Meat slicers and grinders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Food processors and mixers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forklifts and hoisting equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power-driven machinery like saws and metal-forming machines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can a minor drive for work if they have a driver\u2019s license?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A:<\/strong> No. Minors may not drive motor vehicles for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can teens work unlimited hours during the summer?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Some limits change in the summer (for example, evening hours extend to 9 p.m. for 14\u201315-year-olds), but hour restrictions still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Do minors get paid a different minimum wage?<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Minors must be paid at least the applicable minimum wage. Overtime rules also apply when working more than 40 hours in a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: If the job seems safe, can a minor do it?<\/strong><br><strong>A: <\/strong>No. Federal law specifically lists hazardous jobs that minors cannot perform, even with training or supervision.

The <strong>Labor Standards Division <\/strong>is your go-to teammate, offering free services to help you understand your rights, investigating if you aren&#8217;t being paid correctly, and handling complaints if you feel you\u2019ve been treated unfairly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the breakdown of what you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Money Matters:<\/strong> While the state minimum wage is $5.15 per hour, most Wyoming employers must pay the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. If you work more than 40 hours in a week (when allowed), you must be paid &#8220;time and one-half&#8221; for those extra hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balancing School and Work:<\/strong> If you are <strong>14 or 15<\/strong>, school comes first. You generally cannot work more than three hours on a school day or more than 18 hours during a school week. Your shifts usually have to stay between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, though these hours extend to 9:00 PM during the summer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety First:<\/strong> Your health is a priority. Federal and state laws ban you from doing dangerous tasks, like using power-driven meat slicers, forklifts, or heavy construction equipment. Employers also need to keep your birth date on file to ensure they are following these age-based safety rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>We\u2019ve Got Your Back:<\/strong> You don&#8217;t need a work permit to start a job in Wyoming.
