Just a heads up, they recently updated their system and it's causing some delays. Might be why your claim is taking longer than usual.
Anyone else notice that the system seems to be down every other day? I swear they're doing it on purpose to reduce the number of claims...
Pro tip: if you can, try to find someone who speaks another language and have them call the non-English line. Sometimes those lines have shorter wait times. Just make sure they can explain your situation clearly!
I'm in the same boat, been trying for days. This whole situation is making my anxiety go through the roof. How are we supposed to survive when we can't even get basic information about our benefits? 😫

Does anyone know if gig work affects unemployment if your regular job cut your hours? I've been doing some food delivery on the side to make ends meet.

•It can affect your weekly benefit amount. You have to report any income you earn, even from gig work. They'll reduce your benefit based on what you earned that week.

•Oof, that's rough. But I guess some money is better than no money. Thanks for the info!
