“The unemployment process has been this ongoing nightmare.” Pending unemployment applications mark a month without income for many in COVID pandemic.
“The stress is overwhelming,” said Christopher Imeson, a former caddie for a golf course in Ponte Vedra, Fla. Imeson lives with his young son, who suffers from type one diabetes. “I honestly don’t know how we’re going to eat next week.”, Imeson struggled to apply on the DEO’s website, claiming the site would constantly crash. Ten days later, Mark managed to successfully apply for unemployment, but then came a new problem.
Imeson says he is nearing the end of his rope, but is holding onto hope. He says a friend he hadn’t seen in nearly a decade sent him a hundred dollars. “That bought us another week of groceries.” An aerial view from a drone shows vehicles lining up to receive unemployment applications being given out by City of Hialeah employees in front of the John F. Kennedy Library on April 08, 2020, in Hialeah, Fla.“The PGA just set up a fund for those of us in the golf world,” added Imeson. “Today was the first day of applying, and I don’t know the timeline, but it gives me hope. Florida unemployment does not.
It has been over a month since she applied for unemployment, and her application is still “pending.” Hopson said she’s been unable to reach anyone at the DEO for answers. “It’s a heart-crushing feeling to know there is no one to help us, and no one seems to care,” she said.“I have finally received my food stamp benefits, which will be a big help for groceries,” Hopson told ABC News.
