Hi..So sorry to hear that you are ill and now without a job. I do have experience with this. If your past job doesn’t dispute it, you will get unemployment quickly. And anything owed back. You must do all this online or on the phone. You must apply every week. Keep logs of any jobs you call or network with people to find a job. Write down the information in case they ask for records. Don’t do it online just keep paper records with names, people you spoke to and if you sent resumes to company’s, the email addresses. Unemployment is no longer 80% of you pay. There is a max and each state is different. They will call you and ask you questions. You can set up direct deposit. Most states are now only 26 weeks but some still carry an extension. I will pray for you. I hope you find a job soon and not have to deal with Unemployment. It is definitely a lot of work. They will also have you go to an initial meeting and then a workshop. Not long. But it will show you how to do it on the computer. REmember, gets copies of the JOB Sheet. That way you can put dates and info and keep it for your records. They may not ask for it. You have to show that you looked for 3 or 5 jobs a week and when you ask for the benefits, put that you looked 6 out 7 days for work. Whether you walked in and inquired, get a persons name or called places or applied online with a resume. Relax and breathe. It will be ok. God bless.
