So I ended up leaving the house for awhile this afternoon to go get my glasses fixed. I’d broken the bridge over three weeks ago, and have been wearing my last pair of disposable contact lenses sparingly since that time.

I was successful in getting the glasses fixed and was overjoyed at this, but for some reason, I felt the need to cry all the way home in a fit of depression. I got home, parked the car, and thought to myself, “that was your good luck for the day, but don’t push it further - just go upstairs.”

On the way in, however, I checked the mailbox and found that I’d gotten a letter today from the unemployment office’s Ajudication Center, stating that I’m slated for a phone interview on April 5th to discuss why I “did not provide the information required” to file my latest claim. Furthermore, the letter states in bold that the unemployment benefits cannot be paid until I am determined eligible and my continued claim form is received.

There’s no reason for this. I’d already gone through identity verification and missed a month of pay in the beginning of the claim as a result. I’d provided them everything they needed to know, and I’ve been receiving my checks for three weeks, now. Why now would I get this sort of letter???
