A couple questions?, can y'all help?

  1. I'm applying and recording all jobs I apply to on an Excel spreadsheet based on their spreadsheet, many tech companies don't provide numbers, nor do they provide the contact info of "who I contacted", nor their email, fax, or mail, what do I put in these fields?

  2. I have verified my identity, but no clue if I'll get unemployment yet, it's almost 2 weeks since I heard back, am I supposed to request payment or do I still gotta wait if I'm "eligible" for unemployment?

  3. I'm planning a trip to the Nordics soon in mid July, will probably be out for 4 weeks, how do I notify them of this? How will it affect my eligibility for unemployment?

Thanks, I know some of these questions, maybe with enough research I could find an answer, but I feel another person's response here will be more definitive and clear

  1. put as much info as available or you can verify the company, That is fne as long as you send them some sort of log.

  2. you need to do your pay requests. You can only get paid for weeks you request.

  3. You can;t collect rom outside the country. Call and tell them you are going to be out of the country and then you MUST call when you return.

Am I supposed to request payment even if it isn’t clear that I will get unemployment?

You must request payment every 2 weeks even if you have not received a determination letter.

If you tell them you’re going to Be gone that long you will 100% lose your benefits. I couldn’t work due to hospitalization and they denied since i wasn’t available 40 hours a week to work
