New numbers have come in from the Department of Economic Opportunity. So far, it shows that there have been more than 1.5 million unemployment applications submitted since March 15.
Only 25% of those applications have been processed so far and only 6% of people have received checks.
More than 650,000 claims are in the “verification queue” which means they need to check identity, fraud and employer and wage.
As of today… 41,573 (25%) have been denied.
