Well as we all know times are tough these days. Every penny counts. I'm an unemployed union electrician. I've been unemployed now since January. I've been collecting unemployment since then. I claim every two weeks in the usual manner on the internet. To all those familiar with the system you can only claim weeks your eligible for. If your not eligible or out of funds the system will let you know right then and there. So this Tuesday as per usual I went online and filed my two weeks. I thought everything was cool untill Thursday. When I only received compensation for one week as oppossed to the two weeks I had claimed. Its hard enough to scave by on two weeks pay let alone just one. Desperately disturbed and confused I called the Unemployment office to try and find out why I only got payed for one week instead of the two, that the system allowed me to claim. I was told rather aggressively and harshly that we had arrived at the third quarter and that my claim needed to be reevaluated.
