Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: Before Starting Work: - Print/save all payment history - Screenshot your remaining days - Complete final certification accurately During Contract: - Keep all pay stubs - Save contract details/emails - Don't certify while working After Contract Ends: - If within benefit year, restart certifying - If benefit year expired, file new claim - Use claimyr.com if you need to reach an agent Tip: Keep checking your unemployment inbox weekly even while working. Sometimes they send important notices you don't wanna miss.

Here's what you need to know about missing payments after BYE dates: - After BYE date, system automatically reviews your claim - Backpay is processed once review is complete - Usually takes 2-3 weeks for payments to resume - All certified weeks should be paid retroactively - Keep certifying every week without fail If you need immediate answers, try claimyr.com to get through to an agent. Much better than waiting on hold forever. Source: went through this myself last month

MASSIVE PRO TIP: Sign up for virtual job fairs - they count as work search activities AND you can do them from home. Also join some LinkedIn groups for real estate AND general job searching. Screenshot everything. The more documentation you have the better your meeting will go. If you need to speak with someone before the meeting, try claimyr.com - saved me hours of calling.
