As coronavirus cases increase in Kansas there is a legitimate debate about reopening the state, church gatherings and a return to normal.
However . . .
THERE IS NO DENYING THE KANSAS UNEMPLOYMENT WEBSITE HAS COMPLETELY FAILED & WORKERS NEEDING HELP HAVE BEEN IGNORED!!!
As the shut down continues the situation in the Sunflower State is growing desperate and social media feedback has turned into a maelstrom of frustration, threats and desperate pleas.
The Missouri unemployment website has suffered similar hardship but nothing compared to the MASSIVE UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIM DENIAL we're seeing in Kansas as requests for help simply go unanswered and seemingly ignored.
The outcry has been so loud that Kansas Guv Kelly offered some guidance. Now, after weeks without unemployment insurance payments and workers struggling to survive without any hope of work for at least another two weeks . . . We checked the response to Guv Kelly's call for patience via Kansas Dept Of Labor updates . . . Take a look:
JoCo Mom Demands Real Life Answers:
"How about you start answering questions about why people are filing, but nobody has been being getting money. Why is payment not being issued? I've tried calling numerous times and can't get a hold of an actual human to talk to about it."
Kansas Pandemic Busy Work:
"All I get when I call is a busy signal? Did the phones not come online this morning?"
Hanging on the telephone:
"I FINALLY got into the phone system enough to put in for a call back. Got a busy signal the 1st 5 times of calling... then on the 6th time I got the automated menu and was able to put in for a call back in an hour! Been on hold for almost 2 hrs now"
Waiting is the hardest part . . .
"Still have a waiting week & I filed a claim for 3/21 & system says I never did."
Local in Lenexa locked out:
"I been locked out for 3 weeks now and can't get a hold of anyone."

I guess she's too busy making sure that nobody prays during this plague.
ReplyDeleteKelly was never qualified. Sad to see KC media doesn't have much about it. The Missouri website has had bigger volume and not even half of the troubles.
DeleteI guess electing Democrats doesn't making the welfare state function any better.
Delete^^^^
DeleteWELFARE STATE. THAT'S BULLSHIT!
These are people who want to work but can't. There are almost no jobs allowed by law right now.
These are people who paid into the system for years, some their whole lives and they can't get a dime.
This is bigger than your stupid politics TKC.
Thanks for posting but this is ridiculous. It's a failure across the board and you need to blame some of these Republicans too.
What has Jim Denning done?
Kansas unemployment for benefits. Sad.
ReplyDeleteHate seeing people trolling on that Department of labor site.
Delete"I waited for 15 minutes and go an answer"
B.S.
I hope they're not paying employees to post that junk.
Kelly should resign.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet I know of many that filed on line and had checks in like 10 days or less. I agree Kelly is a horrible person but so are a lot of other loser assholes in Kansas.
ReplyDelete"I agree Kelly is a horrible person..."
DeleteReally, somehow I don't think you're being objective. How come Republicans never call Trump, "Gramps"? You know if she's granny, & she's younger.
You stupid fuck they said she was a horrible person and she is. Nothing else was said so go FUCk YOURSELF Funkhouser
Delete^^^ +1,000. Can we get this welfare-cheating idiot hillbilly from West Virginia out of the area and off this blog please.
DeleteKs labor website has 300 very pissed off people on the latest post.
ReplyDeleteI think the complaining will get even worse on Monday.
The whole state government of Kansas is fucked up, not just the unemployment division. Kansas has a policy that requires hiring only retards for state government jobs. All state government employees are lethargic retards. The governor is inept and useless but this is not her fault.
ReplyDeleteALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES EVERYWHERE ARE RETARDS
ReplyDeleteTHEYRE NOT GETTING THE GOV CHECK SO WERE PISSED NOW
ReplyDeleteTime to impeach Granny.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny.
ReplyDeleteI filed and got two checks in the last two weeks just like they said that I would.
The $600/week from the Feds isn't happening yet, but will soon.
You are lying.
DeleteThose DUMBASS jayhawkers elected this buffoon! They will just have to live with her incompetence! Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
ReplyDeleteI have been waiting since March for unemployment! Still nothing.
ReplyDeleteShe also needs to open the judicial courts so parents can see their children!! Even if it’s having hearings through conference or zoom calls!!
Governor Granny is a prime example of what will happen if another old Democrat suffering from dementia like Joe Biden is elected to President.
ReplyDeleteDemocrat Governor Kelly was too concerned with her left-wing ideology of closing churches and arresting Christians.
ReplyDeleteGranny should have been focusing on helping Kansan's receive their unemployment checks.
Both employers and employees have paid for the funding of the unemployment benefits and radical Kelley's incompetent administration cannot provide the benefits they deserve.
Get this, Governor Kelly's college degree is "Recreation".
ReplyDeleteExplains her lack of understanding of business transactions such as unemployment benefit process and getting checks out timely to taxpaying citizens.
Kelly also was born in New York City and did not grow up in Kansas. Geez, how did she ever get elected to Governor of Kansas with that resume.
But she has plenty of time to make sure people don't go to Church.
ReplyDeleteHey 5:17, your holy ghost was a Roman sailor on shore leave! Fuck Jesus! Fuck Mary, too. Slutcunt.
ReplyDeleteNazi Jew Hater and Homo.
Delete6:43 felches Jesus and spits santorum all over the sheets! Ptui!
DeleteYour pal Hitler was a homosexual.
DeleteThe Kansas Department of Labor and its "technology" have been ignored for decades by administrations of BOTH political parties.
ReplyDeleteKelly just has the misfortune of having those results blow up during her watch.
Sort of like Lucas, who is trapped with having to try to address current issues, opportunities, and problems of KCMO government while being drowned by the debt load bequeathed the city by decades of mismanagement and poor choices by one administration after another.
Of course, he's not helping himself or the taxpayers by pushing more crap like Waddell and Reed.
When's the next election?
Exactly! I was having the exact same problems with the Kansas Unemployment Website 10 years ago that people are having today! Also, I could never get through on the phone to talk to a real life person either. It was extremely frustrating for me as well. But people need to blame the right persons who developed and run the unemployment website, NOT Governor Kelly!! That's Ridiculous. Who is the person in charge of, and oversees the Unemployment Program?? People need to contact THAT person!! It's definitely NOT Governor Kelly!
DeleteIf you're unemployed you had a shit job anyway go find a different one be a landscaper or something
ReplyDeleteWTF, expecting KN95 mask to be equal to N95 mask is like expecting Cinzetti's to be as good tasting as Jasper's.
ReplyDeleteI really believe all these ranting, raving,and very offensive comments about Governor Kelly are from one person called "Anonymous" because the majority of Kansans I talk to support Governor Kelly's decision to extend the stay at home order, and also limit church gatherings. Governor Kelly has more access to the spread and dangers of COVID-19 than the Kansas citizens she represents! If you are smart, Continue to listen and adhere to Governor Kelly's orders to keep Kansans safe. If you refuse. Go ahead and be an idiot. Expose yourself all over the place and get COVID-19, that may take your life!! I'm smart because I'm following Governor Kellys guidance@ And. Finally, this has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS!!
ReplyDeleteAs far as your problems with the Unemployment website. You need to contact an IT Specialist. The Unemployment website is at fault here, NOT Governor Kelly. She did not write the program for the State's Unemployment application process!! Please point your fingers in the right direction at least!!
