What if I didn’t receive my Unemployment benefit payment I requested? I was told I would receive it via direct deposit June 10. This would have been my first payment.Thank you

A) There are a few reasons why you might not have received your first unemployment payment on June 10th via direct deposit. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot:

Check for Delays: State unemployment offices are often overwhelmed with claims, which can lead to processing delays. It’s possible your payment is just running a bit behind schedule.
Verify Direct Deposit Information: Double-check that your bank account routing and account numbers are entered correctly in your unemployment benefit portal. A typo could be the reason for the hold up.
Contact Your State Unemployment Office: They can provide the most up-to-date information on your claim status and troubleshoot any issues with your direct deposit. You can usually find their contact information on your state’s unemployment office website.
