When will I receive my unemployment payment? Filed recently, getting anxious

When did you file your claim? That's usually the biggest factor in determining when you'll get paid. Most claims take about 2-3 weeks to process, but it can vary depending on your situation.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Pro tip: check your claim status online if you can. Sometimes the website updates before you actually get the payment. Might give you a heads up on whats happening

ugh im in the same boat. filed 3 weeks ago and still nothing. this whole system is a joke 🤡

Here's what I've learned about payment timelines after dealing with this for months: 1. Initial claims usually take 2-3 weeks to process 2. If there are any issues or discrepancies, it can take up to 8 weeks 3. Certifying every two weeks is crucial - miss this and your payments will be delayed 4. Direct deposit is faster than debit cards 5. Sometimes calling can speed things up, but getting through is a nightmare 6. Check your spam folder for emails - sometimes important notices end up there Hope this helps! Hang in there, everyone. We're all in this togethe

have you tried contacting your local representative? sometimes they can help speed things up
