Same thing happened to me last Friday. I had the review date., got the supplemental questions, answered them, then called 2 days later to see if I fullfilled my review. They said you need to go to the review with your job search yadda ,yadda .
So I head down to the local., job searches in hand early Friday morning waited 15 minutes for the worker at he front desk to key me in, look at my page and tell me, "You fullfilled your review with the questions online"... ugh
I asked her "So can you copy the pages I have, or what?" she said no, theres no need to to.... BIG UGH!
I can see that I'll probably go through this again at the start of Jan
KC~Carolina,
I've been receiving EB since early Nov. and received a letter today telling me to report to the local office next week to show search records. How many weeks back do you generally take in? Since the start of EB? I'm guessing my experience will be just like yours- tell the receptionist, and that's it... I don't understand why they make us report if they don't keep copies? Silly.

I'd rather they just copy my records just to make my trip worth it. I don't care...take'em in the back, do a little dance on them, hand them back to me and say "ta-da!" Just do something with them.
This sort of thing makes me miss jdljr. Maybe he could've enlightened us a bit on the work search review process now. Is there a percentage of people getting appointments scheduled but then getting the supplemental questions instead? And how do they tell who has to turn in their records at their appointment and who gets the supplemental questions? Is it only certain offices doing it this way? Or is it entirely random? I wonder.

Well it doesn't sound correct to me, but I am curious who else has been told this ect....
Any thoughts?
KC, I totally remember you sending me a DM awhile back about this and I don't think I ever replied. I probably was in the process, but perhaps had a messy diaper to change or something and got distracted.
Though I don't know if I have an answer...I can't remember if jdljr ever brought it up. What I do know is that you're entitled to all benefits and if you're approved for benefits that carries into a 3rd year...you should be entitled to get it. As jdljr has said, if you don't get approved for a new benefit year (which you won't), they should still open a claim in order to get any available benefits.

I agree. It makes more sense to at least fool us, and make us believe copies are reviewed! Perhaps a certain percentage of people do not show up because they are not looking for work properly, and they got dropped from EB? Just a guess. Why else would ESC require an in-person visit and not retain the work search records? How many weeks do you generally take? All? The last month or two?

I suspect this is the case regardless. For the ones trying to "game" the system, the agency is hoping they'll get scared off and not show. Meanwhile, they'll make copies of our records, then throw them in the garbage when we walk out the door. I really don't think they're doing an ounce of research on our records.

From what I've heard, they only want the weeks you've been on EB...and only the weeks since your previous review. In my case, my last "review" was Oct 28th, so I'll bring everything from that week on.

When I was on EB before in my first year I took all work search records from day one!
They copied 6-8 weeks back., I had to do this 3 different x's.
This time I went with everything again and nadda, they sent me home said I fulfilled my requirement questions online.
Very iritating since I called to ask them that and they told me to go in.

Yes I do remember him saying that also, hmmmm..... Just wonder IF it will apply to EB, or if that's treated differently.
I guess I'll wait and see.
lol> I totally understand about the diaper duty and available time ect... No worries, I had 2 messages unanswered from almost a month ago... OOOOps
Will you still have some EB left at the end of your approaching 2nd year?

Thanks. Based on this, I suppose I'll strictly take in the weeks I've been on EB, which started in early Nov.

Thanks. Only 6-8 weeks back? That seals the deal. I'm only going to take my records since early Nov. when EB started for me.
That is maddening! Huh, I wonder if I might be prompted with online questions upon certifying this week, Sunday. Regardless, I'll still go down to the office next week, as I just don't trust the system.
Since I finally got my underpayment, which was $2327. I get 403/week. Before I got it, my EB start date was 10/24. Now, it's 9/12.-- i don't think that's right.. at all.. but whatever. They took from my balance.. but what am I to do? I dunno.
If it was the 10/24 date, then I'd be going into yr 3. My benefit yr ends 2/27/11.

So do I have this right?
They took weeks from your benefit year to give you the underpayment that you rightfully deserved?????
And now your state is triggered off.,
(I still wonder why on that one, since they have a phenomonal UI rate!) Are you still able to file this week?
I'd call asd ask about that check and the fact that they backlogged your benefit date.....
If they OWED you money (which they did) then why did they take away your weeks after payment.
I know your worn out on calling them, but this really deserves an answer.
If your back in NC and we're triggered on and 2/27 rolls around you may still have had EB to pull from.
