I filed week before Christmas and still waiting on approval. Somehow it is denied from previous employer over a year ago, which I did not get laid off by but "voluntarily quit" to start the new job. Why is this relevant?

1 week I did not make a "company contact" and was denied. I understand the rules but I had 11 interviews so focused on preparing instead of applying to Walmart to fulfill narrow obligations...I put a note that I focused on landing actual job, which I did receive an offer.

I appealed both but not expecting anything at all. It's my first time using unemployment and had low expectations but this far exceeded how bad I thought it was.

What do people do that depend on the checks? Just take shit jobs? The system forces you to keep applying but in the real world actual screening and interviews take weeks.
