A: I am calling to find out why I didn't receive an unemployment check this week.
B: Did you send in your Continued Claim Form for the last period?
A: I think I forgot to send it in!
B: You need to be very careful to send that form in every two weeks if you want to get paid.
A: Can I send it in now?
B: You should look at your claim form and see if it has been more than fourteen days since it was due. If it hasn't been, we will still accept it.
A: Can I mail it in early next time so it isn't late?
B: Actually, you cannot mail it in early, as it needs to reflect all of the information up to the due date.
A: Will my paycheck come right away now?
B: Your check will arrive a little late.

A: Could you help me figure out why I am missing my unemployment check for this week?
B: I hope that you remembered to send in your last Continued Claim Form.
A: I am pretty sure that I didn't send that claim form in.
B: You have to send that form in every two weeks so we that we will know what to pay you.
A: Can I mail it in late?
B: If it is not more than fourteen days past its due date, then you may still mail it in.
A: I think that I will mail it in right away when I get it next time, so I won't be late.
B: You can't mail it in early because you don't know, in advance, how much you will be working.
A: Even though I was late turning in my form, will my paycheck be late?
B: Yes, your check will be a little late in getting to you.
