I was laid off/rehire March 14. I tried unemployment two weeks ago, filed a claim online.

I have never done this and the computer is hard. It said it was successful and gave me a confirmation number. Then I heard nothing. I did the one week claim thing the other day. I still have not heard anything. I did it like 4/2 for the week prior.

Today I went in to see if I could figure what was up and it said it is showing that I did the week claim, but could not find original claim.

Again, I have heard nothing.

Today and 180 calls later, the phone was busy and never did pick up.

I guess tomorrow I have to go to unemployment office. I fall under vulnerable with covid 19.

Anything anyone can share? I called the 877 number provided.

1. Florida is far worse. See my numerous posts. Good luck. n/t

2. Same for me

Laid off last week and started claim right away. No communication other than a email from OR Unemployment Office letting me know there's a program that allows you to claim unemployment while you start a small business (so they have my email address at least).


I had to claim benefits a few years back and received communication/instructions right away. I'm hoping they are just currently overwhelmed and I'll hear back soon. I'll keep trying the number as well


Good luck

3. I went on a community board and someone provided this for me, this morning.

My claim was accepted. The first week recognized. But then came back saying they did not have an initial claim. I am going to trust what this woman is saying because it sounds just like what happened to me. So.... Here you go, if I can get this to work to link.
