Been laid off going on 3 weeks applied right after being laid off. Still haven't been approved. ..The reason? Halliburton had not released to them a statement saying a layoff occurred. Anyway to make the ball roll faster or just SOL

Yeah, They wont lay me off so that i can apply for it.
I was delayed 4 weeks but received two deposits on the 5th week. ALL because I answered "I don't know" on the question about Severance Policy. Always answer YES it IS company policy. My mistake. The others that were let go got theirs in 3 weeks.
That's normal for Oklahoma. If you answer a question I don't Know then they have to contact Halliburton. They did and Halliburton straightened it out. All is good but there are no jobs here where I am.
If you were with Landmark, you may have problems if you give them the Halliburton contact information that was in your package. I was denied at first because Hal in Duncan said that I never worked there. Need to be sure to specify Landmark as your former employer if it applies.
I'm in Houston and it took the unemployment office around 3 weeks to get it approved. Not sure that was on Halliburton or just the State. I didn't get paid work the first 3 weeks because I had worked a couple of days the week I got laid-off and then they counted the 2 weeks in lieu of notice.
Where Halliburton screwed me, they took out my child support from the severance up front. They were only supposed to do that if I was behind. At one point until I got it resolved, they were still taking out support from unemployment or future salary so I was basically paying double child support. If you pay child support and get laid-off, then contact the person handling your case before you get the severance.
In some states you will not receive any payment until your severance runs out.
I'm in CA and I didn't have any delays. I heard some people here did because of Hal not completing a form...
Just one of the many ways Halliburton, by way of your former management and HR have of fking with you, long after you are gone.
expect to remain laid off for the time being, just saying...

Which state are you in? I got laid off 3 weeks ago and I received my 1st payment a week ago. Week 1 was a waiting period.
There is a waiting period of 4 weeks to get an unemployment payment deposited on your bank account. you may get paid for 3-4 weeks on a single payment.
