It seems like the benefits are there for unemployment (except for the whole healthcare debate) but at the same time, our unemployment systems have never experienced such a stress test. My father and a few close friends have all applied but are still waiting to hear anything back from the offices. I hope the process goes quickly for them and anybody else who is going through this right now.
Yeah, I was laid off 3/20 (California) and applied immediately. Got a confirmation number but still haven’t heard anything else. The site was already bugging out and I made it in before the majority of people.
