My unemployment claim was approved - any advice?

The state finally resolved my claim after a long wait. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. It covered the rent I was behind on. Thanks to everyone who helped.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

That is great news. Thank you for sharing the tip about keeping records.
