I recently filed for unemployment for the first time in Virginia and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I had my initial consultation over the phone and received some letters and a PIN in the mail. I tried to file everything online, but the system only allows a limited number of files, so I decided to send my documents via mail instead. I'm wondering if mailing is the only way to submit my initial paperwork, like wage verification and bank verification, since the online portal is so restrictive. Additionally, my representative mentioned that I could start filing on November 1, but the system shows a week ending on October 31. I didn't apply for any jobs that week because I was busy with life, and I'm worried that this might mean I will be denied full benefits. I explained my situation in my application, stating that I was busy and didn't realize the deadline was for that week, and I assured them that I will comply going forward. I'm hoping to hear from others who might have experienced something similar or can offer some advice.
