looking at my Social Security statement I had to remind myself of Matthew 5:12 (among other verses) because I am getting close to being paid what I used to get for allowance!

*sigh* Wow that's very eye opening. That text is SO true for SO many of us these days Frest. It's like we're members of CSCU --Celestial Savings Credit Union ;)

A mistake was made in my work history for my unemployment claim. My first check was the amount of what I made when I was working. I spent 2 whole afternoons back to back trying to get to speak to a live person on the phone at unemployment. Then, when I explained the mistake they made (which was a reallllly realllly weird one) to a worker there, she said to fax a cover letter explaining the situation along with a W2 prove that I only worked at one of the 3 places they had on record for me, for some reason..who knows.

I finally get a call back from unemployment on the following Monday, confirming the receipt of the fax and further explanation from me I guess.

Finally! It was corrected.

So, now my claim checks (which are issued every 2 weeks) have been reduced by about $100 each week. So, basically, I'll be getting $400 less per month. Eeeek! Have to honest tho. We're Christian. Even if it means barely being able to get by on the lower income.

(I wasn't even commended by the lady at unemployment on my honesty tho. Believe that? hahaha Oh well, Jehovah is pleased, and that's plenty more important.)

Ouch! That's a serious slice of the cheese. Unempolyment has been very inconsistent. First, my initial claim months back was denied now SUDDENLY they want me to appeal. I don't know whether appealing my claim at this point will make any difference but supposedly, I may receive retroactive pay. I won't hold my breath.
