FROM OUR UAW LOCAL 2250 BENEFITS REPS… We, along with our Chairman, have been working with the Plant Labor Dept. to address our laid off Members being put on a 10-day protest period from Missouri Unemployment.
The following is the response the Plant Labor Dept. received from Missouri Unemployment: “The 10-day protest period is the time frame we observe for non-mass claim filings to give the employer an opportunity to file a protest. Payments are not released during this time. Mass Claims are not supposed to have a 10-day protest period. This is an issue with our system that we were made aware of earlier this morning. I have made an IT request to have the protest period removed. I do not have a time estimate on how long it will take to remove it. I’m hopeful that it will be less than a day.”
Please stay patient while Missouri Unemployment works to have the protest period removed. Reminder, Missouri is an Auto-SubPay state. There is NO need to fill out a paper application for SubPay. Doing so could delay your claim.
