IowaWORKS

One is too generous but I cant put 0 or negative. Been waiting 6 weeks to be paid after verifying ID and trying to go in, but each time i come in from newhall they are "too overwhelmed and busy" with one or two customers in line. Just trying to get my seasonal unemployment to live/survive but it seems these "great iowa workforce workers" will not do their jobs. No calls, no emails, and no contact on anything i have done wrong or have not provided. My roomates that i work with and live with me have all received their pay, even if filing after me!

Been waiting over a month for my unemployment. Can't even get a hold of a real person. Other people have received theirs. Finally got in line to speak to a living, breathing person. Estimated wait time, 157 minutes. Office will be closed by then. Wondering how I will pay my bills and feed my kid when I have been laid off of work for a month. Nothing coming in. No one to help. No one in the department concerned. Another government agency hard at work on my tax dollars. At this rate I am wondering if we will still have heat, electric and water or be homeless by the time it arrives.
