Kentucky – Credit for weeks claimed not check mailed?

My hrs have been cut back at work and I applied for partial unemployment and was told that I was approved but the last two times I requested a check it tells me that I was given credit but no check issued!! I’m only getting 10-20 hrs a week and don’t understand what is happening with my unemployment can someone please tell me what is happening

All I can tell you at this point, is you should check the partial unemployment benefit formula for your state in this chartbook, located at the USDOLETA.

The formula can let you know how the state is supposed to calculate partial benefits and if those 10-20 hrs a week you’re working are enough to basically be wiping out any remaining partial benefit amount when the formula is applied to your earned wages for any week of being partially unemployed.

Been giving a letter of approved and it says been credit for week one and two but no check. Also it say in view payment that week one and two issued but 0.00 paid out. This stressing me out. Please help

I’m sorry D.K. but this is something you need to contact your unemployment department about .. to figure out why this has happened.

I’ve been certifying biweekly payments since the day I initially filed for unemployment on March 20th of 2020. I still haven’t received anything. What should I do?

Why does it keep saying no check issued this is a month now and I’m ready to start calling the governors office and start complaining there is no jobs without having to drive 100 miles or selling my home and moving away from this state.

Hi Robert,
I agree, you should call the governor’s office, because that might just be what a reasonable person would be expected to do under such circumstances.

Keeps saying I have been credited but no check was issued. Please help

This is not the sort of thing I can help with. You will have to contact the State of Kentucky to find out what the holdup is.

I know my old employer is fighting this! They wrote me up 6 months ago over “rude and hateful attitude” then told me 2 months later I was doing a good job. They had no problem with the quality of my work. I was hard to work with because I expected my coworkers to do their jobs. I was a nurse aide in a nursing home. The unit I worked on has 25 residents. I was responsible for 13 people, the second aide was responsible for 12. I spoke to the bosses when spoken to. I didn’t smile a lot, because I was busy, and they sighted that as “sarcastic facial expressions.” It didn’t effect my work at all. I didn’t refuse to do things I was asked to do, but they still said it was misconduct. I am prepared Incase they do fight it. There is no reason to say this is fault of my own, because nothing I have read anywhere says smiling was my job. Resident care came first, and I made it my main task.

Yup, I do have an idea.

In any state, the maximum number of weeks one can collect full unemployment benefits uninterrupted is 26 weeks (some it’s even less) but 26 works out to be either two quarters, or six months.

My guess .. you’ve now exhausted your benefits claim balance, and since I don’t think KY is currently offering the possibility of any benefit extension .. calling the state to find out why .. may be a lost cause.

All the best while you continue to look for work.

I have been receiving my benefits for 6 months. I filed on Sunday and have fulfilled all requirements. My check is always direct deposited on Tuesday. Today is Thursday and still nothing so I called. It said that my claim has been received but no check issued. I have left a couple of messages for my claim rep but no callback. Any idea what no check issued means in this situation?

I can’t really say with any certainty what it’s all about, but if I were to make a guess from my own imagination, I’d be wondering if there might be some eligibility issue causing the status on your claim to be put into pending resolution of the issue .. or it might mean there’s something going on on the St. of KY’s end with issuing a check, or making the direct deposit to your checking account, or maybe a debit card.

Have you called spoken to a live person at the state about this?

I have received my first check already and I just called in my 2nd one Sunday but when I call and check on the status it says I’ve been credited but no check was issued, what does that mean ??

So will I not know if I’m approved until after my hearing? 2 mos from me applying? I’m so confused I’ve called for my checks.

Hi,

You would be collecting benefits already if initially allowed benefits, and employers appeal initial determinations all the time so benefits can be stopped ..

But you say you’re waiting for a hearing, so would it be correct for me to assume, you’re still claiming weeks of unemployment, but you were initially denied benefits?

Just trying to figure out what you’re actually confused about.

Ive neen throigh this process several times. Keep calling in check regardless untill they start mailing them. You might get more than one check at same time depending on how long it takes to ok claim.if nothing after a month call local unemployment office. If still have problems after the fact of no denial call louisville ky or headquarters unemployment. Sometimes you get a check in three weeks but sometimes it takes 4 to 6. This is worst thing. Waiting game. Its terrible but once over even if you have to fight it do it. I fought budweiser for three months one time and after i won i received several checks at once. Just all depends on you making sure to claim when u need to and doing reviews and just staying on top of it till you know one way or another. Usually 4 to 6 weeks on average.

Well, from where I sit, my guess would be that you have been monetarily qualified for a weekly benefit amount, but are still waiting on the initial “non-monetary claim determination” which now decides if you’re eligible to receive weekly benefits .. based upon the circumstances for the reason you were separated from your job.

Did you quit your job?

Did you get fired from your job?

And regardless, the state of Kentucky still has to conduct the investigation to determine whether you quit with good cause, got fired for something other than misconduct, or were laid off for a bona fide lack of work.

Might be better to start on the home page to learn more about how the unemployment benefit process proceeds after someone applies for benefits.

I called in my unemployment called and it stated credits given but no checked mailed ..I received my reward letter saying what I’ll receive..what does this mean??

The determination that tells you how much unemployment you’ll get is called the monetary.

It should state somewhere on the document that the amount is how much you will receive if you are found to be “otherwise eligible”.

The non-monetary determination is issued after the state investigates the cause for separation.

Have you been contacted by a claim investigator yet to get your side of the story?

I applied for UI benefits 7 weeks ago. The system still states I have been given credit but no chick was issued. I registered with the career center and gave 12+ years work experience on my resume. Ihave done everything the office has told me needed to be done. I recieved my approval letter and the paper that told me what my benefits would be. I waited past the appeal date and have legal documents that my former employer is not allowed to deny my UI benefits. Still waiting for payment.

I had to request my money yesterday and now when I call to inquire its saying I have been credited for that week but a check hasn’t been issued. And I haven’t got a letter in the mail saying I’ve been approved or denied. Its been 3 wks since I filed. Only thing I got in the mail was the booklet. What does this mean? Hopefully I didn’t get denied

Sarah,

Ah .. you’re still waiting for the eligibility interview so a non-monetary eligibility determination as to whether you will receive benefits based upon your separation from work can be issued.

Sounds to me your unemployment claim is progressing as it should be and maybe you haven’t yet read that booklet you received that I’d think explains what you have in hand and why it’s important to keep filing in each week.

The “monetary determination” which qualifies a person based on wages in a base period for the weekly benefit amount comes first before they receive benefits if found “otherwise eligible” with the non-monetary (second claim determination).

Generally – it can take up to eight weeks before someone begins to receive benefits and although a long time for someone without a job through no fault of their own .. this is how it works.

Anyone that has called and no check sent – did u end up getting your check? Bills don’t wait and it’s been 3 weeks. I’m wondering if anyone has got a check after waiting

I also called when told to,shown proof was looking for work and showed papers signed and stamped from the school I attend as told and still only get credit no check issued for 4 weeks now

Then try this. Contact the Kentucky attorney general’s office and tell them how long you’ve been waiting for a determination on the issue.

Tell them what you have provided to the claims office, how long ago and let them know all you want is an appealable determination to get this show on the road .. one way or another.

I have been receiving benefits for 4 weeks and this time I didnt receive my check. It said I was given credit but no check issued!? I have done everything required and have been applying for work legitimately and regularly. I have been to one class two days ago, which is also required. Now I am getting this response. I have done nothing wrong and dont know what is going on. I went in today to talk to them and they said that they had their last appointment at 10 am!!! They wouldn’t even tell me why. I dont know what to do I just want to cry.

It dd this for me as well I received a letter saying how much I would get but it never actually sd approved. If its saying no check has been issued then you’re not approved yet. At least that’s what the unemployment office told me

Everything went through with my unemployment. I got a paper in the mail saying I was approved and for how much. I called last Sunday and it said I was credited for the weeks and everything I called today about my check status and it says the weeks were approved but no check gas been issued and hangs up! What is going on with this anyone know?!

I filed UI and was approved for two weeks, Aug 20 and Aug 27. I called the automated number and it informed me I was approved for the weeks, but no check has been issued. Then it hung up. I currently live in florida, so it is not as if I can drive down to some office in louisville or frankfort and find out what is going on. What number can I call to get in touch with an actual person? Also, how do I prove that I have been applying for jobs?

I claimed on June 30th and it only let me claim for one week. ????? Then it said my next claim date was for July 10th. I called and it said that I had been issued credit but no check mailed all the way up until July 10th. So I called to claim that day and it said that I would have to reopen my claim because 3wks had passed, but it didn’t let me even claim my 2nd wk the first time. I visited my office and she said that I had answered a question wrong but she would put all 3wks in for me and that it takes about 4wks for determination even though youve already got a letter in the mail. So I called the day after she entered my 3wks in and it unfortunately said the same thing. You have been issued credit but no check mailed. So Im just in a waiting game at the end of this week if it says the same thing I will be paying the office another visit.

I’m getting the same response. Im vetting credit for the weeks. But no check is being issued. It’s been a month since I filed and I haven’t received anything other than the paper stating of I’m approved this is how much I’ll receive. How long is it going to take to find out anything.

General guidelines for the length of time allowed to a state to issue the non-monetary determination is about 4-6 weeks, but this time frame can easily be affected by the amount of claims filed .. which in turn would only affect a state’s performance statistics. This doesn’t really help you though .. because there is no official recourse for claimants, to my knowledge .. except to report this to the power withing a state that controls all state agencies .. usually the attorney general’s office.

Personally, I would start calling to find out what’s going on at about 4-5 weeks even if I had to hang on hold for hours at a time.

Chris

Yes I continued to claim my weeks as instructed. I was told via phone call a decision has been made in my case three days ago. But the phone system still says You have received credit for weeks claimed ,however,no check has been issued. I don’t know if that means I got it or was denied again.

Then you need to call the department and find out where your money is .. right?

Especially if you’re certain the benefits weren’t directly deposited or added to a debit card .. which seems to be the way most states prefer to do things these days.

I was denied benefits and appealed the decision. I had my telephone conference and have found out a decision was made on my appeal. When I called to claim weekly benefits I checked on previous weeks and it says I was given credit for the weeks but no check processed. Does that mean I was denied again?

I really don’t know what “credit” means.

Did you continue to file weekly claims for benefits while waiting for your appeal hearing?

You cannot collect backpay for the weeks you waited while being denied .. unless you filed the continuing claims.
