I was laid off from my job in Virginia on June 17, and my last working day was June 26. I filed my initial unemployment application on June 28, but then I learned that I needed to submit my first claim the following weekend, so I filed again on July 5. I was informed that deposits are typically made on Wednesdays or Thursdays, but as of now, I still haven't received any payments. When I checked my profile with the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), I noticed there are issues delaying my payment related to a lack of work and severance pay. Both issues are effective from June 28, 2026, and I’m worried about my financial situation since I have bills due this month. I'm feeling anxious and unsure about what steps I should take next.
