This it’s crazy. I came 3 times to verify my identity and still nothing. I have 3 month baby I’m not able to file a claim for Unamploymant bicouse no body from you do his job to verify my identity witch it’s take 5 mins . I didn’t pay my rent for 2 month and I don’t have food to feet my baby . I don’t know how many times more do I need to come to verify me. This it’s unacceptable.

I dont understand how they hire people that give off attitude and are unprofessional. They are not helpful and dont have the patience to help people. Just because they have a position they think they can treat people any way they want. And that they are Gods give to the world. Regardless what ever is written here will not be taken into consideration. SAD SAD SAD SAD. You talk to them with respect and they respond with disrespect. Come on people do something.

Questions & Answers

why is it so impossible to contact anyone that works in the office or contact anybody over live chat on your website ?!!

cecilia tavares | Oct 7, 2019
Irina Eschenburg | Oct 6, 2020

It's actually impossible to reach anyone in any of the offices and also main unemployment line too. I filed for unemployment 3,5 months ago neither I received money from them neither I can reach anyone. I have been calling everywhere, emailing everywhere, trying to chat with no success.

Why doesn't VA set up a waiting room to put us on hold instead of saying there aren't any representatives available to speak with us? We deserve a system that benefits the people so we have our basic needs met instead of jumping through hoops.

Shana Klima | Oct 6, 2021

I cannot reach anyone. I get the same response after making 12 calls..Hang ups not available. I went to unemployment office and they were closed on October 29th.

Is anyone working at the unemployment office? Calling for 4-weeks, multiple times a day, voice recording to call back later. Seems like the staff takes the phone off the hook, and does nothing until quitting time.

paul kelly | Oct 6, 2020
JuanCarlos Talley | Oct 6, 2020

I have the same results I have left multiple messages and no return call. Despite the voicemail saying the office is open it is closed

Deborah Gilliam | Oct 6, 2021
B.F.V | Oct 6, 2021

Same here, after 41 years working and first unemployment application October 2020 and they said had issues! Haha. They didn't have to pay millions to scammers. Tried to find the reason in person, by phone. Not luck at all.

Biruck Jiffaro | Oct 6, 2021
Joe Berry | Oct 6, 2021

I'm still waiting for my unemployment assistant too.

I got cut off by Virginia unemployment due to no more weeks to file, I reapply and have no response whatsoever!! And I'm still unemployment what should I do to survive this pandemic time??? Homeless soon

tiger copcai | Oct 6, 2021
Valerie Laidlaw | Oct 6, 2021

Same thing happened to me!! Everyone who got pua last year was supposed to get an extended 10 weeks I did not get the extension I was denied because they said I did not work at all last year when in fact I worked from January 3rd all the way to the beginning of July all through covid delivering food to people that didn't want to come out of the house!! I've been trying to get my money now since the beginning of January they gave me my first two weeks in January and then told me to keep filing which I have been and still sends me emails every Sunday telling me to file but won't release any money to me I finally talked to a young man he claimed my last two weeks for me I did file last week but it never went through so something was wrong with the system but he also told me people that haven't received anything yet could possibly be getting released funds within the next two weeks so I'm praying that this is true. I'm not working full-time as I worked in the restaurant business.

what does employment commission mean to "enter your wages for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter of 2019? When using a 1099

You need to enter at least 6 months. But it's best for you to enter the whole year.. it's your taxes for 2019 . It's your income

Can I go to this office and do an unemployment claim

Joseph Grosso | Oct 5, 2022
Ciomara Martinez | Oct 5, 2022

You can go to the office but I think they can only guide you how to do over the phone, wait time is long and if you bring children you will have to wait outside until someone is available to assist in the lobby area. No children allowed inside the office.

They give you a pin in the mail, I was struggling with this for almost a whole month. Finally spoke to a human being. I received a pin NOW something is Outstanding and I don't know what it is none will pick up or contact me back as a veteran this is all so very disappointing and sad.
