This happened to me during the EUC08 freeze. I went beyond 4 weeks and when that happens, your claim gets locked and manual intervention is needed. If you're at or under 4 weeks behind in claiming, you can just catch up online or over the phone. Under normal circumstances, those who haven't certified in 5+ weeks need to go down to their office and get those back weeks straightened out by showing your worksearch forms and proving you were looking for work those weeks. These aren't normal circumstances, so those 5 weeks and over will probably have to do it over the phone.
Might be a little bit of trouble for some of you...but hey, it's finally passed, that's the most important part.
I am glad you Verified my quote.. So you understand.. actually the office was very straight forward is all I can say.
This was in reference to an old post (probably back in the page 200's somewhere) from jdljr, our NCESC rep. During last summer's EUC08 freeze, I wasn't able to certify for like, 8 weeks. jdljr advised us that if you haven't certified in over 4 weeks, your claim is in essence, locked and needs to be manually reopened. That's certainly why it's good you called today and not waited on Monday, which likely would've been your 5th week. There were a flood of people affected back then, so the reps just got us caught up over the phone.
Of course, that was EUC08 and this is EB...so they may need to treat it a little differently. But judging by your post...it sounds like they're using the same process.
Retro for everyone as long as you can prove that you have been unemployed and searching.
thanks a million my friend that means my lights stay on
