My unemployment claim was approved - what worked for you?

After 12 weeks my unemployment claim was approved. I have been trying to stay organised about it. 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 2 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Congratulations! It is such a relief when it finally lands.
