I will be filing my sixth weekly claim tomorrow and have not received a single payment

Customers are unable to get through on the phone, and I have no other income besides this pending unemployment benefits and I’m not understanding why it’s taking 6 weeks to verify I don’t work at one employer.

But then the system made me send in verification that I no longer work for a former employer. That verification still has not been processed after almost 6 weeks.
