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. Please stay tuned to the website, Meetup, and to the Tuesday morning newsletter for all important updates. If you need to subscribe to the newsletter, please click here.

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

9:30am – 10:00am New member introduction
10:00am – 11:30am General meeting and presentation

 Our club Zoom account has a max of 100 attendees so you’ll want to join early. All attendees will be muted, but we encourage you to click the “Chat” icon so you can ask questions.

Because this is a permanent link for the weekly meeting, with no need for registration, it is recommended to set a recurring calendar reminder as there will be no meeting reminder coming from Zoom.  

If you are unable to join the Zoom meeting because we have reached registration capacity, you may watch the meeting via Facebook Live.  Regrettably we are unable to take questions via Facebook Live.

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.
