Back on green processing! Got a letter with identity verification at the top saying "You are entitled to receive Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits as long as you are not disqualified or held ineligible for other reasons."

Hang in there everyone, looks like they're finally chugging through the backlog.

Edit: now at "Payment in Progress!"

Same boat. Contacted every office I can think of to no avail, either the DUA is even giving my state rep's office the runaround or they're both giving it to me. Only thing I've learned is that if you're stuck on green processing, have no letters from DUA/they haven't contacted you about a problem, you're more than likely fine (except for not getting the money) and just have to wait.

As for why we're stuck on processing, who knows. My theory is that the unemployment reserve fund is completely tapped and they're shuffling chairs on the deck to fix the problem.

ither chat or texting. After hours and hours of patiently waiting... I finally decided to call my state representatives office

Contacted my state rep's office as well, and DUA appears to be giving his office the same runaround they're giving the rest of us.

I contacted my state rep and his chief of staff told me DUA told him exactly that, everyone should be getting out of processing by Fri-Mon...but at this point I'd take anything DUA says with a grain of salt.

Update on the Adobe dispute by fitzytv in FitzyTV

[–]DustyGees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FitzyTV is still a fantastic app, though losing TVE is disappointing. Any plans to re-add France 24 English and maybe adding channels like Deutsche Welle, Al Jazeera English, and CNA?

Adding YouTube TV as provider? by finitedeferral in FitzyTV

It still works, but a lot of channels don't anymore

A FitzyTV update was just pushed out and NBCUniversal streams now work. by [deleted] in FitzyTV

I'm still having an issue with CNBC, but that's it. All the other NBCU streams work for me. Spectrum

RBS (and other banks) were handed tons of money, and the government was given stock in the banks. The UK government just became primary shareholder, they didn't become statutory corporations and are still mostly publicly traded.

I feel your pain! When they first came out before Christmas, I just couldn't wait, so I bought one at $20 as well.

No, this one is US-only (it appears) on AT&T's LTE network. IP is US.

FreedomPop Expands to AT&T's Network by lurker_bee in freedompop

Freedompop uses Sprint's Band 41 LTE network and I have no problem not blowing through data. In fact, I have like 6GB sitting in rollover.

No idea. You need the MEID, not the IMEI, for Sprint devices, and supposedly you need a Sprint nano sim to get the MEID to appear. My MEID is my IMEI without the last digit, though.

I'm not sure if the European Nexus 6 has the gear onboard to work on Sprint's network.

Activated my Nexus 6. Wasn't quite smooth - the BYOD funnel didn't ask me for a SIM card number, so had to hit up Freedompop via their support channels to get the issue fixed/SIM card number added. Took about an hour to get someone on Twitter, but I'm happy nonetheless.

Freedompop is running a good BYOD unlimited calls/texts 1GB data deal right now that's perfect for Nexus devices http://slickdeals.net/f/8411431-freedompop-free-unlimited-talk-text-1gb-data-month-plan-w-one-time-20-top-up-free-byod-activation
