I know here, I've collected three weeks of unemployment (they don't pay the first week, so been approved for four) and still nothing for the federal UI.

Like you, this is the first time I have ever done unemployment. The few times I qualified, I chose to just go get another job or be self employed.

My cynic is wondering if there will be any retroactive, and if not does the state just plan on pocketing the whole thing. Some reports are saying some states wont see disbursal till May. Some suspect the economy will also be reopening. Makes me wonder if that's why they are dragging their feet.

My significant other is also getting hers distributed in separate deposits.
