So I submitted my back pay forms to my local career center this past Monday. They just this past Thursday uploaded them and when I spoke to someone from the unemployment office they told me that a was handling it. Keep in mind no one else has said anything about a when I talked to the unemployment people prior to this nor have they said anything about me being denied like this guy has been saying in the past. So my question is this, should I believe this guy at the unemployment office or is he lying? Because everyone else I've talked to has not said the things this guy has said.

In fact, I've talked to this guy twice now, once last month and just yesterday. This guy says that they mailed me a determination letter and yet I've not seen anything resembling a determination letter. And it's been more than 3 weeks since this guy says that they sent me a letter. So should I take what this guy says with a very small grain of salt?

•Honestly not really. I feel like I'm getting the run around. But I did find out that they are waiting for the benefits department to establish a pua claim for me to pay out my back pay

To all those having trouble reaching a human at Kentucky Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/gpW34tRbIJY

Hey Nathan, I'm dealing with a similar situation right now and it's so frustrating! I've been getting different answers from different representatives too. From what I've learned, it's pretty common for adjudicators to get involved when there are questions about eligibility or when they need to review documentation - it doesn't necessarily mean you're being denied. I'd suggest keeping detailed notes of who you talk to and what they tell you, including dates and times. That way you can reference the inconsistencies if needed. Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative's office? Sometimes they can help cut through the bureaucratic confusion. Hang in there!

•@LordCommander this is really helpful advice! I'm new to all this unemployment stuff and it's overwhelming. The idea about keeping detailed notes is smart - I wish I had started doing that from the beginning. Quick question - how do you go about contacting a state representative's office? Do you just call them directly or is there a specific process? Also, has anyone else here had success with that approach? Thanks for sharing your experience!
