Hello fellow Mylotters. I have a question and a leetle bitty problem methinks. The question is in regards to unemployment compensation in the US. Someone recently told me they will not get their unemployment check this week and it will come in 2 weeks. It will be their last unemployment check.
According to them, the unemployment agency messed up and they are not going to get their regular scheduled check this time.
The problem is they owe me money. Mylotters, do you think I am being taken for a ride?

First off they cant just keep your money. They cant just make a mistake and say We messed up so you dont get paid this week. COME ON! I think they are playing games with you. That's why I never lend money. People, no matter who, always play games with other peoples money. I know it stinks but tell them that you've checked into it for them and if they are owed money unemployment cant just keep it. That is a FACT! Tell this person that you dont care how they get it but they have to pay you. Give them an extra week. Honestlty Rose I wouldnt plan on getting it back just for your own sanity. Dont lend out anymore money to anyone. With the economy being the way it is, we need all the money we can make. Im sorry you had to experience such a selfish thing from your friend.I do think they are lying. Its a shame to have lost a friend like you. dl

Probably not, the unemployment extensions have been increased thanks to Prez OBAMA.

sounds like a delaying tactic to me - I've heard of government checks coming late, but they don't notify you in advance of that!
