Ky unemployment invistagation?

I recently had a sun stroke. I do not have health insurance so I was unable to get a doctors note for missed time from work. I have copies of emails I sent to my supervisor informing him of why I was not able to attend work, but due to the "no fault" attendance policy, I was dismissed.





A friend of mine was fired from his job simply for not going to work, no sickness, he just decided not to go to work anymore (no call no show) and filed for unemployment and has already recieved two unemployment checks, and is getting a third this week he was fired and filed for unemployment a week before me.





After filing for unemployment, and recieving a letter stating how much I would recieve in benefits, I filed for my first check. A week goes by and I did not recieve anything from them, so I called the IVR to check on the status. The IVR informed me that I was "credited for weeks claimed, but no check was issued." I called the help desk to inquire about this issue and after waiting on hold for over an hour I was hung up on and when I called back I got the recording that their office was closed. I called back the next day and sat on hold for over two hours only to be hung up on again when the office closed.





I went to my local unemployment office today, monday 8/15/2011 and waited there for over an hour to talk to someone. It has almost four weeks since I filed for my unemployment (i'm eligible to claim another check this sunday) and I was informed that there was an investigation under way on my case and that every time there is a dismissal there is an investigation. I informed the guy I talked to about my friend only to be scoffed at and the guy insisted that investigations were always the case if there was a dismissal.





Obviously there is not an investigation every time someone is fired, my friend is proof of that, and now I'm in dire straights. If I do not receive any benifits this week, my electric and water will both be shut off. How am I supposed to find another job, with no means of having good hygene, a must in my line of work. I cannot believe that our system is so screwed up that it rewards laziness and punishes the people that actually work in this country and pay the taxes that pay for these lazy peoples unemployment. It's unbelieveable.|||it would have been so much easier to go to urgent care and see a doctor.... but yes when you're fired they have to do an investigation. Maybe your friend's investigator was not as thorough or he had different paperwork....|||in ny if you get fired you cant get unemployment
