Investopedia explains 'Continuing Claims'

The number of continuing claims is commonly reported as an indication of the total number of unemployed persons. However, this interpretation is not completely accurate since continuing claims figures excludes several groups, including workers not eligible for unemployment insurance and workers who have exhausted their benefits. For instance, in 2008, only 36% of unemployed persons received unemployment benefits according to the Department of Labor.
