As many of you may know Aunt Bob lost his job. On Aug 3rd I applied for unemployment with a statement given of aprox 21 days for benefits to kick in. At the 21 day mark I went into the unemployment office to see what the hold up was and they said " due to the fact that my discharge fell into the "other" category ( no one can explain the "other" category) it was put over to another department and could take up to six weeks. At the 6 week mark I went into the unemployment office and was told it can take up to 6 to 8 weeks. So I wait.
What do they expect people to do? No jobs here, no income. Bills come in and money doesn't.
I did a little digging. When Obama announced that they recession was over the unemployment office started down sizing. However the unemployment rate is still high or higher. So fewer people doing the same or greater work. My case is sitting on someones desk just waiting for them to catch up. Meanwhile I face auto repossession, eviction, starvation.
How can they think in this day and age when most of the world is paycheck to paycheck that people can wait 8 weeks for help.
Sounds like Work One is doing what they do best. Putting everyone on the back burner. It took me 6 months to get my unemployment payments. The only cool thing about it was I had a job and they paid me all at once.
