Unemployment

By Terry Savage on February 07, 2021 | Wild Card

Hi Terry,

I was told you have talked about the unemployment fraud ordeal. I am a victim and lost my job after 28 years of service. I have been trying to get help and file for unemployment since 01/18/2021. I’ve spoken to 12 people and only have a claim number and no can help me. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

I’m a little unsure of whether you are a victim of unemployment graud, in which case do everything on this list.

And then subsequently did you become unemployed and can’t file? If that’s the case, it’s a giant hassle. Please write back and let me know about that as I am working on a column about people who first had their identity stolen — and THEN couldn’t get their own, well=deserved benefits when they subsequently became unemployed!!
