RESOLVED How do I tell them I got my last paycheck?

Doing a weekly file claim and it doesn’t really give me the options of telling them that I got my last paycheck from the last pay period. Does anyone know if I’m just looking in the wrong place or if I have to call separately for that? Please let me know, thanks.

so you need to report earnings that you didn't previously?

there is no weekly claim question "is this your last paycheck" so just trying to get on the same page

No, I don’t have that question. The closest to that question is severance/lieu pay and sick/vacation pay.

I been filling out for the unemployment log for 3 weeks now and received my last paycheck few days ago.

Does it represent work you performed during the employment claim or before?

Did you back date your claim to a time frame that is included in this paystub or... is this really work you did before claim and therefore isn't reported under this claim because it predates the claim?

In other words, If I get a pay stub from an employer than represents work I did 3 weeks ago with an extra $10k, but I started my claim last sunday, do I report this ? No, because it happened before the claim existed and no work was performed that was not reported during the claim so far
