Anyone attending an appointment must wear a mask at all times. A photo ID is required to enter a KCC building. Temperatures will be taken before entering KCC buildings due to COVID-19. Accommodations will not be made for those without appointments.
While staff will make every effort to answer all questions during this appointment, UI specialists may not be able to provide a resolution during a single appointment. Some claims could require additional paperwork or take additional time to complete. An additional appointment will not be necessary.
