In the weekly jobless report, we find out that an additional 314,000 Texans have filed for unemployment after losing their jobs last week.
In the past three weeks, more than 800,000 Texans have applied for unemployment. That’s more than in all of 2019. Many have been able to file online for benefits. But for different reasons, some people have to call in to claim unemployment.
And we are hearing from desperate Texans who are frustrated by phone lines that have been jammed for weeks. Some have tried hundreds of times each day to get through, to no avail. In this week’s episode, the Texas Workforce Commission announces they are increasing the number of call centers…and next week they will increase the call-in hours to 12 hours, 7 days a week.
Also, the TWC explains why some people who were recently denied unemployment benefits should apply again.
And the agency gives an update on when out-of-workTexans might finally start seeing the additional $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits.
