Going through the same shit. They make it as cumbersome and annoying as possible in hopes youll give up. I tried calling them the other day and after spending 10 minutes getting through their automated system a message plays telling me that they reached their maximum call volume for the day and to call back tomorrow. Wtf? It was only noon.
Unemployment should automatically pay out the entire allowable amount in one lump sum if you lose your job through no fault of your own. Instead my state makes you 'prove' you're looking for a job to keep getting half the pay you got from your job. Theyre doing the same shit with food stamps now too. If you dont have a job you have to spend 4 hours at the library every day while you prove you're applying for jobs.
Its madness.
Oh and their 'job board' basically puts you on a bunch of shitty recruiter lists so your email gets flooded with spam job postings.
