Today, yesterday and Wednesday. I'd done the usual bi-weekly filing for unemployment earlier in the week, then checked my bank balance on Wednesday to make sure the funds were in there before paying some bills...but they weren't.
Started to call the UC info line, but it was an hour wait so I thought, maybe it's just late and it will show up later today, or tomorrow morning.
I should have stayed on the line...grrrr.
Still nothing in there on Thursday, so I called back and endured the wait. Turns out, because I'd been able to get one full week of temp work the month before, they'd somehow determined that I now had a full-time job. Despite there being weeks between then and now that I didn't get to work full-time, or at all. So, even though it was indicated that my claim was accepted, the payment was not released.
After I explained on the phone that I have been doing temp work while I search for a job, all was fine and they released the funds to the direct deposit center right then and there. Yay. Except that it takes a couple of business days to process, and won't make it to my account until Monday. Boo.
