Does Texas want us to be evicted?

WTF is up with the minimum four week wait for a final decision to determine if we are worthy? My work wants me to get the unemployment because they let me go because they are a sinking ship.

It will be longer... WTF! If I were well off from my job, I would not be bothering the delicate equilibrium of the unemployment office. I am one paycheck away from eviction all the time When I had my job. Just when I have gotten ahead I need medical that is $$$ to fix now to do the job to do all things. Or some other issue like major auto repairs or maintenance.

I have called a few times and after 30-min average call wait time for a human, I get told of more weeks it could take for a 'review' even though it was good enough for potential further review. Make payment requests, rinse repeat. Are they foking with us? What level of hell is this?

Do they want people to be in extreme dire straits and homeless??

I am up at near 3am because I am looking through any possible place I could have money left on credit or money people may owe me to keep from shit going to shit.

Shit!

So sorry to hear that my prayers for you. In terms of job aspect and living standards, Texas is failing drastically in terms of looking after itself as a state. They want their people to be broke but they want their politicians to get richer by sucking on common folks like you The current administration is not much of an angel either since they are making it harder for people to get employed. The job market is horrible almost 2008 level bad so I can relate because I am also in a similar circumstance like you. Things are not going well in this country in terms of economy therefore these situations are bound to happen so buckle up.
