DOES

On Friday, July 4, 2025, the DC Department of Employment Services (DOES) and the American Job Center locations will be closed in observance of Independence Day. Please be advised, if you receive unemployment insurance benefits, payments may be delayed due to the DOES and American Job Center locations closure. We will be available to assist you in-person or by telephone on all other weekdays. Thank you.

 

OWC Premium Surcharge Rate

The premium surcharge, as the funding mechanism supporting the Special Fund, is calculated by reference to the self-insured employers’ paid losses, and the insured employers’ insurance premiums for the immediately preceding fiscal year.   This surcharge is calculated to fund the anticipated budget requirements of the upcoming fiscal year and fluctuates in line therewith.
