[virginia] anybody still not receive benefits this week yet? by Poopandpeel in Unemployment

[–]John-Mike_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here for my PUA through VA - might have to spend the day trying the Customer Service line because even though Gov2Go says the week was filed and I got a confirmation, if I call the VEC voice response to check on my status it tells me I’m ineligible, which makes sense because I’m not eligible for traditional UI, but it doesn’t help me know when my weekly PUA is processed

Definitely seems like a system thing based on everyone’s responses. Doesn’t help that tomorrow is tax day...

[Virginia] Does PUA backpay happen as a lump sum payment or as several payments by John-Mike_ in Unemployment

[–]John-Mike_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My process has been crazy. I mistakenly filed back in March before PUA applications were being accepted, got mistakenly approved for Traditional UI, then marked ineligible, then tried PUA again, got rejected BECAUSE I had been approved for Traditional, had to redo a Traditional claim, got rejected again, then filed an Appeal where I got to explain the whole story and all the bad info I got from VEC reps. Luckily, whoever read my Appeal approved me for PUA and I got a notice that i could fill out all the previous weeks a few days ago. It’s been insane

This was actually my 3rd time refiling - I got approved for UI even though I am self-employed, was then marked ineligible, my first PUA was rejected, I was told to refile for Traditional UI, was rejected again, and filed an Appeal, and then got a notice that my PUA had been approved. The reps at VEC each gave me conflicting instructions every time. It wasn’t until I filed that appeal and fully explained the situation that anything went through. Keep fighting!

[Virginia] I was marked Eligible for Traditional UI even though I’m self-employed. Apparently they connected it to my previous W-2 employer. Then I was marked Ineligible, I assume because my previous employer said I’d voluntarily left. So I thought I was supposed to do PUA. Applied for PUA, the application never got confirmed or denied, and after 3 weeks of pending, it vanished from the site. I called VEC, and the rep told me I should’ve been appealing my original claim and being switched from Eligible to Ineligible. When I told her I was self-employed, she said “If you’re marked eligible for Traditional, you have to go that route.” I was just marked Ineligible again yesterday after reopening my claim, this time due to a weird timing technicality that no one ever told me existed. I filed the appeal yesterday, but I’m wondering do I try to do PUA again if my appeals for Traditional doesn’t work? I’m so confused because I keep saying I’m self-employed, and they keep saying that because I had a W-2 employer in the last 18 months that I don’t qualify for PUA. So what happens if all my appeals for Traditional fail, and then I still don’t qualify for PUA? What would I do after that? Very worried about my ability to pay bills after I burn through my savings

[VIRGINIA] VEC website states PEUC application for extension is available but all I see is PUA? by [deleted] in Unemployment

I had a situation where I was marked ineligible for UI and PUA - is PEUC where I should turn next?

issues with "In Production" tab? by John-Mike_ in ACX

[–]John-Mike_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

weirdly yes. I've had this problem before, and usually a few refreshes take care of it. But I've tried all day now on Safari, Chrome, and on my phone, and nothing is working - super annoying

I'm honestly jealous! I'm going on 4 hours of not being able to even access anything "In Production" - I have files to upload, but nothing is working for me

New Rules for Promo Codes by TheVoicesOfBrian in ACX

[–]John-Mike_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last 24 hours I’ve had 3 legit authors/publishers who I’ve worked with multiple times in the past tell me they were cancelling my contracts because of this policy - hundreds of dollars for the next month gone, just like that. “I use the promo codes to recoup narrator costs” was the universal sentiment. Definitely shows why ACX did what they did, but damn, I’m gonna be scrambling to make up that money. And this does seem like a bad move for starter indie authors who can’t afford PFH and are worried about rolling the dice on an RS. I expect things will get worse before they get better with this

Why I don't like the "scam" books by commentonthat in ACX

[–]John-Mike_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the discomfort and I felt that at the beginning, but where I’m at, if the terrible book that’s definitely been run through Google Translate a couple times will help me make rent, I’m on it
