We have been having a lot of trouble lately with our faxes going through to the unemployment office. It will connect and then it will not send it. We have tried other faxes and they go through okay. Does anyone have a number that we can call to see if it is on their end. On the website we did send a email and have heard nothing. Thank you Diane Willick Ruth Hughes Memorial Dist.
