Confusing
May 4, 2023

It was disappointing because it wasn't explained to me. All new to me. And from what I was told I have to wait another 15 days before I can claim by phone.

Worst company
May 4, 2023

I hate this company with a passion for not being able to verify my identity in a satisfactory and efficient manor. Because of the highly specific documents they require it took them 3 months to verify my identity and during that 3 months I had no money because I needed to verify my identity with these askholes in order to get unemployment insurance. Fck these askholes, this company slucks.
