[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so interesting to me. I’d definitely apply—to me it’s money on the table that I’d be leaving.

Even if it’s a lot of paperwork, surely it doesn’t take more than an hour or two a week? Or am I wrong about that?[/quote]

It's not the weekly check-in so much as the hours of very confusing forms to click through for the initial application. I have applied twice (during federal shutdowns, I tho understand OP is not a fed) and it is not a clear or easy process. They have a lot of duplicative questions, mandatory resume-building, drop-down menus that are required but don't apply to you, requirements to upload ID documents in weird formats ... it's a pain.

However, to me it's worth doing because if you don't do it fairly soon, you will not get paid for the weeks you've already been out of work. Better to get the process started and collect for the weeks you're unemployed, even as you're interviewing for the next job, than to wait until it's either too late or you're newly employed but in a financial hole.
