Oh, perfect…they wreck the economy and force layoffs, and then destroy the ability to get unemployment benefits to those people. This is going to cause a serious downward spiral

This was inevitable and will probably spread throughout the country

Hell, I was laid off Jan 25, '23. Filed for UI asap. Didn't get benefits until MAR '24. Called them weekly and couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. The 2-3 times I got a human, all they would tell me is "working on it".

If it was that bad a year ago, how long will ppl have to wait now?

All of us working together make a difference! Hopefully, events like this will trigger a LOUD response. Show up at rallies. Call your Congressperson and Senators 202-224-3121. Write letters to your local newspapers. Do whatever you are able to do.

A spike in claims at a time when states were cutting back on their staffing at unemployment offices due to low unemployment could reasonably result in a deterioration of services.
