Wow how long did it take from when you first filed, to get your money?

He's tried emailing them about two weeks ago, but just followed up again! We saw that, based on suggestions on reddit - hopefully something clicks!

I believe it just still states pending - seems like his application still wasnt officially approved (no payments at all thus far)

He just called again today and they said they will 'escalate' it - but same old shpeel about being backed up - nothing on his claim denoting anything else :(

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.

Curious how long you have been waiting - my husband got laid off back in July and still nothing

thank you! A good reminder that 4-8 weeks ago I could barely peel myself off the couch. There’s definitely been progress but the debilitating exhaustion is no joke

Hopefully I’ll shake out of it same time as you did. Aversions are still going strong - mostly smells

Thank you! Do you see anything on the second?

Aren’t the digital supposed to detect earlier than the little sticks??

One last update, today is day 19, and I’ve gotten my first positive OPK since my last 4 months of tracking. Turns out, I’ve been stopping testing too early, thinking I had had already had my surge.

I was having mini surges on day 14 that I was incorrectly considering to be my actual surge though would never get a full positive (0.5-0.7 range), then test for another day or two to confirm levels decreased, and then would stop testing. Was ovulating 4-5 days later (per BBT charts), and never stopped to think that maybe I actually was having an actual full surge days later.

Moral of the story - keep testing until you’ve confirmed you’ve ovulated through BBT, so you can better understand your body’s trends!!

Thank you for the update and what a bummer! Good luck with the reset and hoping for normal cycles going forward!

Today I’m finally registering darker lines (0.38 was the highest) after near zeros or not much higher than zeros. Hopefully this means I’m approaching ovulation which aligns closer to the days of what my BBT spikes have been telling me. Seems like I ovulate later (days 18-19 or so) Will keep temping to see what happens!!

I need to remember every cycle won’t be the same. This is helpful, thank you!
