Wage Claim Deadline Checker
The filing clock is the deadline that decides whether a claim can be heard at all — and it runs from when wages were due, not from discovery. Pick your state: Texas gives 180 days, Illinois one year, Arizona one year, New York six years, and Oregon's agency page states no deadline at all.
Check your deadline
Pick your state to see its filing deadline, agency, form, and first step.
How it works
- Choose your state. The deadline shown is the filing deadline, not how long the agency takes to decide. The how-long guide covers processing time.
- Read the result lines. Where the agency page states no deadline, the checker says "no deadline stated" instead of inventing one.
- Open your state's guide for the full process: what to attach, where to send it, and what happens after filing.
Deadlines are not processing times. A filing deadline decides whether a claim can be heard at all. Processing time decides how long the agency takes once the claim is filed. Filing early protects the claim; it does not promise a fast decision.
Each state guide linked from the result explains the full process. The full set sits in the Wage Claim Filing by State directory.
