— A spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service says the agency has not had any problems getting unemployment checks to recipients.
Gail Vititoe, a manager with the West Virginia Bureau of Employment Programs’ Unemployment Compensation Division, told The Register-Herald some who receive unemployment checks complained they received payments late last week. She said the problem was a “U.S. Postal Service issue” and all checks were mailed on time. All state unemployment checks are mailed from Charleston.
However, David Walton, spokesman for the U.S. Postal Service, said systems in both Charles-ton and Beckley have been “checked and re-checked.” No problems have been found with unemployment checks.
