Lauren LaCombe - Wyoming Department of Workforce Services

It is important that we be able to provide timely payments to you for your benefits, and in doing so, are making some changes. Therefore, as of 05/31/2024, you will no longer be able to file your weekly continued claims for payment over the telephone using the automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. You will be able to file your continued claims online at wyui.wyo.gov by logging in and clicking on Continued Claim > File Continued Claim.

Lauren is a single mom living in Cheyenne. She utilized DWS’ POWER program to help her earn her GED. The following is her testimonial.

“I have been working for the last two years and I noticed it was time to start working towards my future. I needed to obtain my GED and Workforce Services had a program that helped me do that. They have a program called POWER that helped me maintain my standard of living while I was going through my GED process. I was able to complete that and take care of my family at the same time.

“The Department of Workforce Services was very helpful. There were different bumps on the road that happened. And whenever those came up, my case worker and the employees definitely helped me get through those and were very encouraging in doing so.”
