“We all recognize we’re going to have to do more to meet this moment for employees and employers,” he said. “When you call, it just says, ‘the line you’ve reached is busy.’ Boom,” Warren told POLITICO. “There’s literally nothing you can do.”. In New Jersey, too, the state labor department has experienced intermittent slowdowns and outages. But there is “no evidence” anyone has been unable to file, spokesperson Angela Delli Santi said, adding that the department has added capacity and has staff working overtime.
Economists also note that there are also huge numbers of workers who still don’t qualify for unemployment benefits even under the expanded program, and who thus will not be among those filing for claims. That includes people who voluntarily have left the workforce for any reason — and perhaps, for example, because they have to care for a sick family member, a child home from school, or because they are sick themselves from the coronavirus.
