I filed my initial claim. My claim date is for Sunday 1/08. NJ claims that 17 days after the sunday of your intial UI file date, you begin making your monetary claims on that wednesday (per their website). Well, that Wed. is in two days and I have yet to recieve any paperwork with those instructions and my WBA. With Everything Ive read on here, people claim to get their determination notice in a few days.. I have not.
When I log on to check my claims status, it says I dont have an active to claim and to file one. I am hesitant to do so because I dont wanna disrupt the system and further prolong this process.
When I finished filing my intial claim I was given a confirmation number, But after not receiving anything, I feel like for some reason they did not get my claim or it was never put into the system.. If I was given a confirmation number, theoretically they should have my claim application...? Right?
What should I do? I want to be able to start certifying this Wed. so that when everything goes through, I get my back weeks to 1/08. Should I attempt to call and see whats going on? Should I try filing another claim? I have absolutely no idea what to do as this is my very first time ever claiming UI.. I dont want to wait just to find out they never recieved my UI application, as Ive been out of work now since early November, and I thought I was gonna find another job relatively quickly, but that didnt pan out. I also dont want to try to start another claim only to mess things up and prolong this process even further. Ive had very stable jobs up until this year when I was laid off from my job of 13 years dues to the recession and lack of work...
Any suggestions? How long did it take you to recieve your determination letter if you live in NJ? Is this normal? Should I try certifying this Wed. regardless? Or should I try getting someone on the phone early tomorrow moring and give themmy confirmation number and see what they say?
Thank you very much for any insight you may provide!
