Oh Donna, it's no wonder you moved out of this crappy state. I was pink-slipped from a job and had to have a quick hearing before I could collect, but I know of a handful of people who left their jobs (quit) and they were docked 2 to 3 weeks worth of unemployment as a sort of punishment for leaving, but they were entitled to their benefits, they just had to wait awhile.

I would definately stress the fact that their deadline was in March and if you were not entitled to the benefits they should have handled the situation when it was first brought to their attention.

I will keep you in my prayers and my fingers will be crossed for you as well. Keep us posted.
