I am vindicated!! THIS IS A GUARANTEED WEEK!!

I am vindicated! As I originally posted THIS WEEK IS A GUARANTEED WEEK.

Just the way the dates lined up.

So it's just a freak accident how my dates played out....

Last year my Unemployment year end date was 12/22/24. So I opened up a new claim on 12/23/24 making my new beginning and end dates 12/23/24-12/28/25 which means not only would I have missed unemployment during Christmas last year BUT this year as well because when I open up my new claim on 12/29/25 then when everyone claims on 1/4/26 that would be my waiting week. Now next year my new dates would be 12/29/25-1/4/26 which would allow me to get unemployment next year during Christmas week. So has anyone ever missed two years of unemployment during Christmas week or is this just a freak accident how my days lined up.

Sorry for the confusion, hope someone gets what I'm trying to say

Well if your BYE is the 28th you won't be able to open a new claim until Monday the 29th. And yeah, it's just how the dates fall.

My BYE was in August so I will open a claim tomorrow and at least 3 days will count toward my waiting week and I should get partial benefit when I claim on the 4th.

Now my year End date is 12/28/25 now I'm missing UI for Xmas back to back years. The 4th is gonna be my waiting week

You should open a new book the first day you're out of work. I'll be doing juist that tmorrow.

I can't open up a claim tomorrow my year end date is the 28th

Last year my end date was the 22nd, I opened up the 23rd so my new dates were
Beginning 23rd, ending the 28th

So that's 2 years in a row I can't claim unemployment that we are off? Is that normal or is that a freak accident given how the dates fall for me because if I open my new claim on the 29th my new end date is going to be January 3rd 2026 which allows me to collect Xmas next year when we are off
