My wife’s business had to shut down due to COVID-19 in early April. We filed for unemployment through PUA at that time and have yet to hear ANYTHING other than “your claim was accepted and we are processing it”. On top of that, the phone lines are totally backed up.

We’re extremely fortunate because my income covers our monthly expenses, but it was a huge financial blow for us and we are conserving cash like crazy. I can’t even imagine someone who lost all their family income going through the same thing.

So, yes, there absolutely is need to worry.
