'It was great news to finally get a call': Unemployment limbo for some, results for others and last updated 2021-02-05 18:39:08-05 (LEX 18) â Like many, Jeremy Jones of Stanton emailed us at LEX 18 asking for help with overdue unemployment benefits. The laid-off ironworker says he went four weeks without a paycheck. This week he contacted LEX 18 to say he finally received his benefits after talking directly to someone at the unemployment office. Jones says the problem was an error on his part. "When I filed my claim, I put a date in incorrectly for the last job I worked," said Jones. "She was able to change the date and approve the four weeks I had been waiting on."
