unemployment

Has anyone collected it? Im suppose to get a check this week and when I filed it said that it is being processed. What does that mean will I get a check this week and when will i get it if it is direct deposit?

I believe that you get a debit card now and they just put the money on that. Not 100% sure about the details though.

I did direct deposit. I was out of work for about 4 1/2 weeks. Since you can't claim for the first week, I could only claim for 3 weeks. I didn't see a dime of that money until I was working for over a month. It was awful! God forbid I needed that money... it took forever! I kept calling and calling - it is very difficult to get in touch with someone who isn't a machine. I finally got in touch with a human being and complained that I was already working and still hadn't received my unemployment $$. I never EVER want to have to go on unemployment again.

Good luck!

i did direct deposit and didn't have this problem. and i've been out of work since october. anyway, i filed online every week and it was really quite simple. i did have a question and had to call - the woman i spoke with was super nice and helpful.

You will receive a debit card instead of a check. You normally can call them and they will tell you when to expect your first check.
