I was laid off in March and my unemployment is still processing. Not denied, processing. Even after it’s done processing the max is 1200 a month, which is absolutely nothing. Fortunately I got another job that pays great but unemployment literally would not keep me off the streets here in NC. I see people talking about filing for unemployment like it’s the big secret and you’re cool as a cucumber if you get fired as long as you can do unemployment but for me it would not have helped one single iota.
