Watchout, some lenders are reporting Forebearance on your credit report it seems.

 
Sign in my elevator saying that rent management company will now take credit cards as payment for rent.....2.5% fee. Not worth doing it for points.

I once was turned down for my unemployment claim. I appealed. At the appeal the appeal board heard my side of the story and the side of the story from the unemployment board's representative that turned me down and her boss. I won and got a huge check for all the weeks they denied me. There is justice in the world.
I think that was about 30 years ago.
I was happy to get my check but very unhappy to be unemployed.
 
Update? You guys get your unemployment? Me, no. After my last Blazers check came in May 1st, I applied and have got NO reply back. Get busy signal every time I call. Have never been able to get through.
On a side not, I did just get asked to work again. 4 Seahawk preseason games starting beginning of August. Hope that government money shows up before that FAMS!

Apply online ..you don't need to call them...my wife has collected every week for over a month....after midnight tonight is when she applies for the next one...she has to apply each week after midnight on Sat night or early Sunday morning...you'll never get there on the phone dude. They calculate on your 2018-19 returns.

Is your wife an independent contractor? I believe that is what HCP is and the state is months behind in paying them.

Already did. They sent a letter wanting more explanation on who I work for, etc. I replied and crickets.......
 
About 5 or 6 of my guys on the Blazers TV crew who lost all their work to this are in the same boat......NOTHING!

It takes a long time I've heard...my wife got hers early on ...it took my daughter in law a lot longer and she is a film producer who travels for a living in a similar situation to you...hang in there, hope you get it soon man! You still have to apply every week though...

no...my wife worked with the disabled for senior services...my daughter in law works for a small film production company and does a lot of independent contracted work...the virus wiped out about 10k worth of those jobs in April alone....she's good though...got her unemployment checks last month

Well I applied for unemployment this weekend. Haven’t heard anything back yet. Hope I am eligible.
My work calendar has been completely wiped clean with all this going on. Usually in my industry if you lose some work, you can reach out and find something else, but with EVERY sport being shutdown, I got nothing. I have friends around the country right now freaking out.
If I get the max each week from unemployment and don’t spend one dime of it, at the least our mortgage will be covered.
Going to be some interesting times.
I have been poor for quite a long time in my 20s.....my wife and kids have not had that humbling experience.
Have already started cutting back. Canceling some services and memberships. Didn’t turn the heat on the last few nights. Trying to teach my family that every cent counts.
This whole experience will change me....... Like I said, I’ve been poor, and swore it would never happen again.
I truly hope nobody is going through the same because of all this. This shit has gotten VERY real, VERY quick.

Blazers are going to play out this season in a modified schedule in Orlando soon., Maybe you can pick up some work there.

Please don't talk behind my back. Someday, you might be old and weak, too. We were talking about coffee weren't we?
 
So our 3 month mortgage furlough is up......STILL haven't received unemployment. This ain't looking good. Had my wife not been able to continue working, I honestly think we would already be out the door. This is Day 119 without being able to work......

Man, that sucks, Really does. I take it you're still sending in your weekly verification, but with no responses?

Correct. Nobody picks up the phone, or if I get through, get disconnected. Sly has pointed me in the right direction to get some help, but still waiting.
