Kentucky Lt. Governor Jacqueline Coleman said today that the government is continuing to process an unprecedented amount of unemployment insurance claims & payments. There's an average of 13,000 new claims per day and over 25,000 phone calls per day. She went on to say that if you have applied for unemployment insurance, do not reapply and do not open another claim because this causes your claim and others to slow down, and it causes payments to be delayed.
Claimants can call the Unemployment Insurance Help Line at 502-564-2900, if they have questions.
