If you have tried to file for unemployment, you may have run into several issues. I have someone that has shared her experiences and I wanted to pass off her tips for filing a claim successfully.
#1 is use a computer, not your phone.
#2 Even if you don’t think you might be eligible, apply anyway.
#3 When your status changes from “pending” to “open,” look at the bottom left corner for the “file your weekly claim,” which can be done every week.
#4 The next page will tell you to submit your work search history, which you can skip. That requirement has been waived.
#5. There will be more questions about school, searching for work, if you’ve turned down jobs, etc., mark “yes.” It should then say your claim has been submitted.
