Meeting Announcement

During this difficult time for our Austin and Central Texas Community, Launch Pad will be here for you, even if it must be virtually for the time being. Our scheduled speakers will make their presentations through a live Zoom interactive video conference.

Launch Pad’s normal Friday meeting will be held virtually until further notice.

Featuring Opal Berry Executive Coach with Texas Workforce Commission on Applying for Unemployment Benefits

Click here to view the video of Opal’s presentation.

Important bullets from this meeting are:

• Try applying online first before calling your local Workforce Solutions office. Opal recommends trying to do so between 12 am – 6 am as there is less online traffic at that time and you are more likely to get through.
• Important phone numbers are:

          > 800-939-6631-  Main Benefits Line
          > 800-558-8321 – To check claim status or request payment

Extended office hours are 7 am – 6 pm Mon -Fri and 8 am – 5pm Sat.  Opal suggests starting to dial 2-3 minutes prior to the opening time to get through as your clock might be slightly different from the clock at Workforce Solutions. If you don’t get through, just keep dialing.
