During covid it was insane. My witfe only finally got it to work by contacting her local state representative who pulled some strings. The actual unemployment office was completely unreachable.

Fortunately in her case, once it did go through she was paid for the entire backlog of owed weeks. But it took months to get it.

That's a scandal. Unemployment Insurance is an earned benefit.

Depends. This admin has made deep cuts to so many offices and it threw States into turmoil. Yes, the issue needs to be fixed but what are the root causes that need to be addressed?

Unfortunately a lot of people in politics get complacent and lazy when they think they “own” and office. Politicians are always more interested in doing their job when the proverbial spotlight is on them.

The republican plan is to eliminate benefits entirely. All benefits of every kind. Overthrow this republican regime, before you lose everything.
