I worked for kkb and they closed abruptly without notice. I have filed for unemployment 3 weeks ago, filed 2 weekly claims and still NO benefits. Going on 4 weeks without pay now and am getting absolutely NO support from the department of labor! Called them and they said they need to look into what is going on. A week later still no follow up.

I have been advocating and requesting to fix a claim from March 2020. It took 10 months for the issue to be resolved. I have spent hours on the phone trying to resolve this situation that began with a mistake my my employer reporting the wrong income. By no fault of my own the agency took 10 months to back date over $4,700 that they owed me.

It is never a good time when you have to file for unemployment. My experience with the staff for the VT Dept of Labor has been exceptional on every occasion. Polite, helpful and pleasant. Sometimes the phone lines are busy. Yet I have with a little patience gotten thru. If an issue does arise that needs attention. The staff has walked me thru the system efficiently and effectively.
