So my claim got flagged for review in November last year after I was collecting for about 2 months. I got a strange notice saying my identity couldn't be verified even though I had already done all the ID verification stuff back in September when I first filed. I tried calling but gave up after being on hold for hours multiple times. I was pretty frustrated and just stopped claiming in December figuring it wasn't worth the hassle since I was starting to get some freelance gigs anyway. Now I'm wondering if I could still get the backpay for October and November (about $1700 total) that I was supposed to receive before the review started. Has anyone been through this and still gotten their backpay even after they stopped claiming for a while? Do I need to reopen my claim or just try to get through to someone on the phone to resolve the review?

So frustrated right now! I called the unemployment office last Tuesday and spoke with a representative who helped me file a new claim. She was really nice and walked me through everything, then told me I was all set to certify starting this Sunday. She specifically said "You're good to go - just wait until Sunday to do your first weekly certification." Well, Sunday rolls around and I log into the system to certify, but when I click on the certification section it says "You do not have a claim on file that allows you to certify for benefits at this time." What the heck? Did something get messed up in their system? Has anyone else had this problem before? I really need these benefits to start coming in since I haven't had income for almost 3 weeks now.

I worked as a logistics supervisor for the transit authority for about 6 years and then our division got shut down back in February 2021. Filed for unemployment right away and received benefits until they expired in early June. For the past 3 weeks, I've been doing GrubHub deliveries to make some money but it's not nearly enough. Can I file a new claim for unemployment while still doing these food deliveries part time? Or would I need to stop doing deliveries altogether to qualify? The gig work is bringing in way less than I used to make at my real job.

Been collecting unemployment since April 2023. Had some temp work here and there over the past months, always reported it honestly when certifying. Last month I finally got through the IDME verification (took forever!) and decided to file a new claim. Logged in today to certify and noticed my benefit year end date has been updated to next year, but theres no dollar amount showing anywhere. Checked my payment history and last payment status, still nothing. Is this normal or did I mess something up? Anyone else seen this before?

I submitted my unemployment claim about three weeks ago after getting let go from my retail job. The website was super glitchy during the application process but I managed to get through it. Fast forward to yesterday, I logged in to check my claim status and noticed a message saying I need to call to request credit for my waiting week. But here's the weird part - I haven't received any official approval text or email yet. The system won't let me certify for benefits either. Does this waiting week message actually mean I'm approved? Or is something wrong with my claim? I've tried calling the number like 45 times but keep getting disconnected. This is so frustrating trying to figure out what's going on.
