I hope you are making the weekly certifications for benefits as you are supposed to be doing after each week that passes. GO TO THEIR WEB SITE AND READ HOW TO DO THIS. Make sure you are doing it!!!

If you are approved for benefits, then each of these weeks since you filed (excluding a waiting week) will eventually be paid if you have made the weekly certifications for them, whether you have found another job or not. But it isn't a quick thing, ever. Unemployment insurance is not by any means supposed to be immediate and is not going to keep you from going under, especially when you have quit a job in the base period, which created a situation where there will have to be a lengthy appeal process before you could ever begin drawing benefits, even if you are approved. Six to eight weeks would be a pretty good estimate of the average amount of time it would take to get the first decision made and get regular weekly unemployment checks coming in.
