RICHMOND, Va. Like hundreds of thousands of Virginians, Denise Atkinson-Gary and her family members have been counting on help from the VEC for unemployment benefits.
Atkinson-Gary said her case was opened nearly a year ago. The financial struggle since then has been real.
She said the process to get unemployment benefits has brought one hurdle after the other. The next big obstacle?
âOn April 10 of this year, my VEC case runs out. It s crazy to me, because I have not received one dime yet. I can t get anyone to see if I can extend it or what to do with it. So it s like, I feel like I m in limboâ Atkinson-Gary said.
