Zealousideal-Tap-713's journey

I recently found myself out of work after the school year ended at the school bus company where I worked from October 2025 to June 2026. I filed for unemployment right after the school year finished, but I received a finding stating that my unemployment benefits are zero. After doing some research, I learned that I'm ineligible for unemployment based on the standard base period. However, I can request a redetermination using the alternate base period, which requires me to upload my check stubs to show that I earned enough during that time. It's been almost two weeks, and I haven't heard from anyone regarding the redetermination process. I'm unsure if I should wait for them to reach out, call them myself, or even file an appeal. I'm feeling a bit lost and could use some guidance on the next steps.
