I am in a very bad financial situation
. I am owed money that has been suspended for 2 months already and unemployed right now. It is actually unemployment that owes me the money. My account was not properly reviewed after I sent them all the information they asked for 6 weeks ago. For the past 3 weeks it has been sitting under review with no changes. NYC UE is not the easiest to get a live representative. Today I was told that it could be another 30 days! They give 30 days for previous employer to respond while I am on the verge of loosing everything.............
Maia's ringworm has spread from her chest up her neck to chin and we are almost out of medicine. My bills are doubled up....................I really need TCS vibes for all this to change

I'm sorry you're going through this. Especially when it's your unemployment and you're not getting any of it.

I always hated having to file and then it would take four weeks for the first check to come in, etc.

for the rep to get your account cleared up and you to get your money.

Oh honey,
and . I hate red tape and government nonsense. Hurry up and wait. I really wonder if some of these government workers have ever been in this kind of situation and how THEY would feel having to wait for so long for their benefits. I really hope it gets straightened out ASAP.

As for the ringworm meds, I rescued a kitten from the side of the road about 10 years ago that had ringworm (didn't know it at the time...). When I took him in to the vet she said she could either prescribe an ointment for ringworm that costs around $20 or I could pick up generic athletes foot medicine at K-mart for about $3. Apparently fungus medicine is fungus medicine. It cleared it up pretty quickly on the kitten and on me (yeah, I got it in the middle of my back from him laying on me. Not fun!) Just a suggestion.

Does the NYC unemployment department have an email communication thing, or even an office you can go to in person? In CA, it is impossible to get to talk to someone on the phone, hard enough to not get a busy signal when trying to get automated info even! But they have a Contact Us link on their website where you can email them your question or problem or whatever, and I've always gotten a response within a day or 2. But yeah, it was over a month before I finally got any money after filing the first time, and in fact I am over 4 weeks behind right now and trying to get it caught up. You'd think they would realise that the people claiming UI benefits already have no income, so they need that money NOW! I wish you all the best to get it soon, and to get Maia better soon too.

. Hang in there, it will be alright. You will get that check. And poor Maia, if it is spreading then this meds might not be working. Is she getting dipped, Lime Sulfur? Also, apple cider vinegar (1 tbsp. Per cup) applied to the lesion twice daily will control the fungus too. I hope your vet can be understanding of your financial situation, and give you a break here
