I'm supposed to do that next week I think... was up late last night looking all that info up. They make it so complicated I don't understand how somebody who isn't very detail-oriented and persistent gets it done.

There's also a lot more constant paperwork involved in a claim now than last time I had a claim (reporting job search progress), put in by the Repubs in MI, but I suppose if it helps shut the "unemployed people are lazy and sit around doing nothing" crowd up then it might be a good thing.

Thanks for the thoughts!
