Unemployment Insurance Delays
Michael Smith, 35, thought things were bad in March when the pandemic hit. He lost his job as a bartender, and his dream of buying a house for his young family disappeared. Smith, who lives in Revere, started collecting unemployment and spending down the money he and his wife had put away for the house.
But when December arrived, Smith said, he realized things could get a lot worse. After finding a few months of short-term work, Smith’s hours were slashed, and he needed to file unemployment claims again.
