Hi there-

I had my interview on Monday, and received my benefits approval letter today that stated I was approved for benefits from 6/19/ I had to claim .benefits on 6/15 even though I had not yet been approved. My question is, when should I receive my first benefit payment? I have the prepaid credit card they sent out, but just called and there are no funds available as of yet.

Thank you

2 to 3 weeks from your last day of work, depending on your specific situation.
