  1. 2

    I received an email from a local workforce agency asking if I was still with my current employer, if I had a new job, or if I was still searching for work. The subject line was "WORK SEARCH." I'm a bit worried this might mean they will follow up with a verification of my job search activities. I only reported one job search last week because I was confident I would be starting a new job, but that opportunity fell through. This week, I managed to complete three job searches. I'm trying to be honest about my situation, but I'm concerned about the implications for my unemployment benefits.

    Today, I set up direct deposit for my unemployment benefits, and according to my account, the funds should be available by tomorrow, the 18th. I'm a bit anxious about whether it will actually be a direct deposit or if I’ll receive a paper check instead. Cashing checks has been a hassle lately, especially since Walmart and HEB won’t accept them, and I have to rely on banks or small check cashing places like Ace Cash Express. To make matters worse, half the local areas are flooded, which complicates everything even more.
