  • Open Missouri Unemployment Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or any other supported social network and send a direct message there.
  • If e-mail address is available send an e-mail. It is possible that e-mail may be answered quicker than getting through a phone support and you will have something in written to which you can refer later in your communication.
