No UI checks received yet - no communication from DUA. What to do?

Ugh, I feel you. The unemployment system is such a mess rn. Have you tried logging into your account online to check the status of your claim? Sometimes they don't send letters but update stuff there.

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out they needed additional verification of my identity. Did you upload all your documents when you first applied? Make sure everything is there and up to date.

Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and spend hours on hold to get answers.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account for any pending issues or requests for information. 2. Make sure all your documents are uploaded and up to date. 3. If you haven't received any communication, there might be an issue with your contact info. Double-check that it's correct in the system. 4. Try to get in touch with them - either by phone (be prepared to wait) or see if they have an email for inquiries. 5. If all else fails, reach out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the unemployment office and can help push things along. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed right now, but persistence is key. Good luck!

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump thru all these hoops just to get the money we're entitled to? 🤡 system is broken af

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes their emails end up there. Also, make sure you're certifying for benefits every week, even if you haven't received anything yet.

OP, how long have you been waiting? It took almost 2 months for my first check to come through. The backlog is insane rn
