At least one of those people says they\u2019re finally getting some help. The state says it\u2019s trying to work through a backlog of claims that got flagged by a new computer program that was ultimately meant to prevent fraud. The state employment division says some 22 thousand claims, about a third of all those filed since April, are now on hold while the state verifies people\u2019s identities. One woman, Anna Goss, lost her job back in March of this year, and says she\u2019d gotten only 2 payments when her account got flagged. Goss spent 3 months trying to prove she was the real deal\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goss says she was told by the state late last week that all her months of back payments are finally on the way. The state says, of the thousands of claims on hold, only 57 hundred of those people are still trying to get their jobless benefits. The state says it believes that\u2019s a sign they\u2019re authentic people like Goss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
