Posted by znufrii Apr 2 '20, 07:41

Yes, multiple times.

Responses:

at least 5 times. It's been a long and strange trip. -- nm - mud Apr 2, 08:37
I THINK once. a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago. -- nm - Andie Apr 2, 08:28
Yes. -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 08:18
Yup each time on the job hunt -- nm - SyrDragon Apr 2, 08:14
Yes -- nm - JaxSean Apr 2, 08:14
Yes, multiple times. Last year was the first in about 5 that I didn't collect it. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 2, 08:14
yes -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 2, 08:13
Was eligible once and did not but I really should have. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 2, 08:13 2
- There's no reason not to if you're eligible. You paid the premiums. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 08:18 1
  - I know....I just procrastinated and then put it put of my mind. - Walt_Disney Apr 2, 08:26
Yep. Once. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 2, 08:12
yeppers -- nm - eag Apr 2, 08:07
no -- nm - JenBro Apr 2, 08:06
yes, for a number of months back about 10 years ago -- nm - call me ishmael Apr 2, 08:01
nope -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 2, 08:01
No, but I have three weeks of furlough (one week a month for the next three months) so I might. - Dark Callisto Apr 2, 08:00 9
- General tips from my experience (NY and PA, your state may vary) -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 08:05 8
  - ooops -- nm* - Bacon Apr 2, 08:07 7
    - Just updated to include that, but in my experience you still cannot file a claim until after that first week of not working is complete. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 08:08 6
      - So, I think they've changed all that due to COVID-19. But it's still confusing. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 2, 08:22 1
        
        Hope you're able to get it all figured out. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 08:25
      - My wife got cut to 16 hours from 14 so it was really tricky to fill ours out. Did you work last week? yes - Bacon Apr 2, 08:10 3
        
        This is probably one area where there is a lot of variation between states, when I've claimed its been prorated based on days worked, not hours. -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 08:12 2
        
        that would suck. She is working from home so she spreads her 16 hours over the week. It's an easy fix for her, to just report it to her boss differe -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 08:16 1
        
        Just told the wife this so she can report 2 days worked just in case -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 08:17
Hmm... no, I guess not. Although I wonder if I qualified. - Mop Apr 2, 08:00 1
- You have to have been working for a certain length of time to qualify for it. You can qualify and leave the country and still claim it. -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 08:54
No, thankfully. And due to the generosity of a friend pitching me some work right now, I don't think I'll have to at least for now. -- nm - colin Apr 2, 07:58
No -- nm - Strongbad Apr 2, 07:58
Yes. -- nm - kelly Apr 2, 07:57
no -- nm - JD Apr 2, 07:57
Yes, about 14 years ago I was without a job for about a week, not even sure if I got any money as it was a short time. -- nm - LMS Apr 2, 07:56
nope -- nm* - decline Apr 2, 07:55
Nope -- nm - Marlowe Apr 2, 07:51
No. Trying to find out if I qualify. I'm not terminated from my company but their operations are suspended. - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 2, 07:50 7
- Not sure if this helps -- (link) - oblique Apr 2, 07:53 2
  - Yup. I feel bad for employees who are being given bad information. -- nm - znufrii Apr 2, 07:58
  - It might. Thank you! -- nm - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 2, 07:55
- You most likely qualify. Oregon put together a video on how to answer the questions for the survey (my wife filed this week) instructing you to - Bacon Apr 2, 07:53 2
  - Do you have a link to the video? -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 09:18
  - Kind of the way I'm leaning. Thanks! -- nm - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 2, 07:57
- "lack of work"? -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 2, 07:53
yes, after my father passed away and we sold his firm before we moved to Nova Scotia -- nm - Beaker Apr 2, 07:49
sure. i was/am a professional performer. -- nm - Diva Apr 2, 07:48
Yes. During the 2013 shutdown the start of my sec job was delayed for 3 months without pay so I was eligible -- nm - JackDawson Apr 2, 07:46
No, only seen the process (govt notices) from the business side. -- nm - Max Apr 2, 07:45
Once 18 years ago -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 07:44
Yes. Your post on B2 really made me remember that. I had kinda forgotten about the process - oblique Apr 2, 07:43
Sadly, yes. A few times. -- nm - Krusty Apr 2, 07:42
