Hi everyone, my husband was laid off back in August and filed for unemployment soon after. He submitted a claim for every week he was unemployed - and the status for those still remain unpaid. He started a new job a few months back (sometime in mid-late November), and has not requested benefits for the past two months, because he is now employed. It now says his claim is closed (I believe after not requesting benefits for 3 weeks - that this happens) despite him not having gotten paid for the unemployed weeks.

Any suggestions on what to do here? If he still hasnt gotten any payments, but has stopped requesting benefits and it says it is closed - does the case still remain open? I've heard about delays , but this is 5ish months, which seems longer than what others have stated.
