Economists are expecting claims to rise slightly to 268,000, according to Bloomberg.
Last week, claims fell by more than expected to 259,000 - the lowest level since October 16.
Moreover, the four-week moving average, which accounts for volatility, fell by 2,500 to 267,500. That number declined for the fourth straight week.
Claims have now run under 300,000 for a full year, as the labor market continues to accelerate towards full employment.
