My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: GEORGIA / FLORIDA
I was employed in Georgia, lived out of a hotel for 6 months. Due to a medical condition my CDL Medical card was revoked, I lost my job due to a medical condition that I could no longer perform my job. Had to move out of the motel and came to Florida to stay with a friend who said she would help me out. Employer told me to file for Unemployment in Georgia which I did in July. I have CERTIFIED each week since then showing I am actively seeking employment, filled out my work search record and submitted those. 6 weeks later I receive 2 letters in the mail from GDOL... 1 letter states I am "ELLIGIBLE" for UEI benefits based on a medical condition that I could no longer do my job and no other work was available to me from my employer. (My employer is NOT challenging anything, as a matter of fact they have been trying to help me) 2nd letter I open states I am NOT ELLIGIBLE for UEI benefits due to I am not seeking work? Both letters are dated SEPTEMBER 4th and both letters mailed on September 4th. I make a phone call to the INTRASTATE UNIT (sorry if its spelled wrong) and was told that evidently I checked a box on my initial application stating I was unavailable for work and they tried to call me on the 4th but since I didnt return their call I was denied benifits. The number I was given that they "supposedly" called was NOT my number nor was it a number I have any idea whos it is. I was informed I need to file an appeal letter and fax it... A process which can take up to 3 or 4 weeks according to the individual I spoke with.
I am FLAT broke, I am a type 1 Diabetic and have NOT been able to buy my insulin for the last 6 weeks... My friend can not keep supporting me and told me to file for foodstamps in Florida, which I did... I was contacted by the foodstamp office and they tell me GEORGIA DOL has reported to them that I AM receiving weekly UEI benifits from them....
I need to know is there anyone I can contact or what can I do to get this case moving forward since it has now officially been 8 weeks since I have received any type of income. I honestly can not wait another 3 or 4 weeks and to be honest I wont even have the money to pay my cell phone bill which is due in two weeks, so I doubt I will be able to do any type of phone appeal.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
