before you judge me for collecting unemployment let me tell you that when one works at a job long enough they are entitled to unemployment if they lose their job for one VALID reason or another (I believe we all should be paying into unempolyment each week out of our paychecks...correct me if I am wrong) I did collect for my first 6 weeks of benefits while being unemployed then they suddenly stopped my benefits but are still letting me file and they are saying I have a valid claim on file. I did get through to a real person a couple weeks bak and they said that they are investigating the reason why I am no longer employed by the company I was employed by. Anyway I have been blown off with my benefits for 5 weeks now and what is making me mad. They are still letting me file but they are not sending me my payment. They tell me I have already filed a valid calim and I can not get through to a live person to ask about my status. It is pi$$ing me off. Any way the real reason I started this discussion is not because I am not getting my benefits it is because I can nopt stand to call an 800 number to ask a question just to get a freekin recording!!!!
What happened to humans? Are businesses just too cheap to hire real people to assist the public? and why to I get for english press one? At an american sight? then I have to go through 20 minits of recordings and pressing just o find "I'm sorry all our agents are busy right now please call back later??????" UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.........I probably shouldn't even start this discussion but I am in the heat of the momnet.......

Honey, I am so sorry for your troubles, and can relate first hand myself. The whole world has changed, and not for the better. No social skills, as we do everything on computer or recorders. Large corps took over mama papa stores, and don't care about anything but the $$$, and employees are nothing to them. You will get screwed either by the employer, our country, or the insurance companies. They have no problem taking our money, but find a loop hole not to repay when due.
Once again, I am very sorry for your troubles, and I am going to make a prayer right now for you to get this all fixed. Bless you, and + rating for your post again.

I went through the unemployment issue awhile back also. I had to call to get my funds situated more to my liking. I also got that dam recorded B.S. I got frustrated hung up and drove down to my local unemployment office. Then I talked with a live person. Things took awhile but it beat sitting listening to elevator music or to a recorded voice telling me what to do. Hahaha! Try this it may help. Sorry for your woes also. Take care.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
