If any portion of a business activity occurs within the State of Alaska then the expectation, per Alaska Statutes (law), is the business will have an Alaska Business License.

Exception: a new business license issued after October 1st will include the remainder of the calendar year in which the business license is issued PLUS the licensing period initially purchased: one year or two years. (Example: a new one year business license issued on October 15, 2013, will expire the following year on December 31, 2014.)

The State of Alaska offers a discount (Senior/Disabled Veteran) to qualified sole proprietors (one individual, not a husband and wife). 

1. You must have earned wages from covered employment during the base period.
2. You must have a total gross income of $2,500 earned over two calendar quarters of the base period.
3. You must maintain your eligibility while receiving benefits by being able and available for full time work, actively seeking and reporting weekly work searches and registering for work as required.

• Your Social Security Number
• If you are not a U.S. citizen, you will need your alien registration number and work permit type or other documentation that authorizes your employment in the United States
• Name, mailing address and phone number of your last employer and the location where you reported to work
• Dates of your last employment, first and last day worked
• Earnings you made in the last week of your employment
• Other deductible income received in the last week of employment; such as vacation, severance or bonus pay.
• Federal employees are required to mail or fax copies of standard form SF8 and SF50, and when possible a Leave and Earnings Statement (LES)
• Ex-military personnel are required to mail or fax a copy of the DD214 member 4

If your wages are from the federal government or U.S. Military, your monetary determination may state you are ineligible at this time because your wages have not been reported. Once wage proof has been received, you will receive a second monetary determination based on the newly reported wages. 

When any additional information is requested by the claim center, submit it as soon as possible or contact the claim center to report why you have not.

All new claims are subject to a ‘waiting week’. The ‘waiting week’ is the first week in which you were eligible to receive benefits. You will not receive payment for this week, however you must claim for this week to receive your ‘waiting week’ credit. Your ‘waiting week’ will not be deducted from your benefit amount. 

You will be required to file bi-weekly claims and be able and available for full time work. You will be required to register for work within seven days, unless deferred. You will also be required to report weekly work search contacts for each week you claim, unless deferred.
