While the process was probably easy for some, it was challenging for me because I had a simple question and a live chat was not available. My frustration led to signing out and coming back another day. Obviously, I was eventually successful, but it took far too long.
As an unemployed person I was encouraged when the facilitator graciously helped me to complete the application for benefits.
She was very patient with me and I believe she gives others the same treatment
I was treated with the most respect.
I was prepared for my video chat but, right during the call, had a sound glitch. The agent took care of it with a quick call. This is a safe and easy way to get access to agencies.
The whole process is quick and easy.
Instructions are simple to follow. The
Pictures are easy to submit, and the
Video verification is done before you
Know it.
