I am a proffesional at it because of the number of years I spent in the union, on and off unemployment is just how it goes in the trades. Feel free to email, pm or ring me at the shop if you need a hand:awsome:

Been there, done that. Initially, its easy to sign up for it online. Have some of your old and recent paystubs ready. If I recall, they pay you based on the highest paid quarter of the year???

Usually takes about 2-3 weeks to get your first check, I believe the maximum payout is 497 a week, which also is based on your income and however they do there calculations. They also allow you to sign up for direct deposit.

You said you worked there for some time, you should be eligible for uc benefits.
