Hey, @dandays.
I really wish I'd made it all up, but sadly, no.
What's strange about all of this is just how coordinated it feels, when it's not possible for it to be coordinated. Talk about conspiracy theories. It's the convergence of disparate events that combine to drive one mad. It's no wonder people flip out. I'm wondering why I've not flipped out yet. Or maybe my wife is doing it for me, though she was oddly reserved last night. Probably tired from a long day.
Sad thing about all of this is, it's not like I want to be in this position. Any one particular source of income would help, at the very least, to ease our minds, but they're all plugged up. And I'm only concerned about it because I'm not working. And I'm only not working because the governor things she's doing the right thing to stifle all business in the name of the greater good. And there are too many people here who think that's perfectly okay.
So, the $300 last until sometime in April, I believe. As long as one qualifies, which, apparently is in question. It wasn't last go around. I didn't have this problem. This go around, though, there's so many people in the system, who are experiencing the same thing, that a bigger bottleneck than normal is choking off information. I can only hope that someone gets to my letter and it's a simple enough thing to flip a switch.
Otherwise, it could be in limbo for a long time.
re: disconnected
Well, it's one thing when it's accidental. In this case, it was closing time and so the automated message comes on to kick you off. I guess that's a tad nicer than letting me stay on all night and let me figure it out for myself. :)
I'm sure that letter has you covered. They probably have that paper trail set up because of the high phone traffic. Union electrician for so long, I'm familiar with UEI for sure. Every time a job was complete I'd be in between jobs. They'll have you taken care of pretty quickly, I'm sure.
Well, that was quick.
Not sure exactly about the timing of it, but last night when I checked I was still in limbo, and when I checked around 8 AM, there was still nothing. But I just went on to look about 20 minutes ago and now both weeks, along with the fed supplemental amounts, are set to hit the checking account. Not there yet, but probably tomorrow.
So, thank you very much! I don't know what you did, but I don't mind if you decide to do it again. :)
