I hate UE. It's money put in from all contractors state wide, into a slush fund, that the state(s) are made stewards of, therefor, when you "apply" they treat you as a criminal, out to cheat the system. The state collects the interest on the moneys, and disperse it to the individuals applying. I know, I was a contractor for a few years, had to pay in,went back to work for the local for insurance, and to get away from "you know who" always in my back pocket.
