This is what I get for S.C. What is going on?????
Plz tel me how I receive
I had a job for 2 days, I don't qualify for unemployment. But I was not allowed to file for the pandemic money. I tried to call unemployment, even sent an email to them. Got no response. I need money to buy food, and pay my rent, and my phone. Now my A.c. quit working and its 106° today in Las Vegas NV. Why am I being denied the money?
Pennsylvania
I applied in March and was denied then was told to apply for PUA and was found eligible filed my claims made 1mistake did everything I was asked to do sent everything documentation that was asked for and my claim it still processing! So no job no money my car is going to get repossessed and my place of employment we don't go back till phase 2 !!!!
Too bad you can't get anyone on the phone to find out the actual payment status and confirmation all is on order to start receiving the benefits. Frustrating doesnt really do it [email protected]
I have not git my unemployment last to weeks
I've already been told that I qualify. But I've yet to receive any payment, it's been 8 weeks. It's crucial right now!!!!!
GOOD ole California EDD. I applied on April 1st and they miscategorized me as an employee when I have always been an independent contractor. Then I reapplied when they finally got their website to include independent contractors on May 2nd and today I get an email telling me to be on the lookout for more info from them. No income since April 1st! They are pathetic.
Yes, but it depends on the job that I accept. I have no reason to stay in Wichita Kansas. I can leave tomorrow
