Now they are waiting to receive the benefits.ADOL said it could take up to 21 days before someone receives the money.“It’s been frustrating," Lancaster said. “Wondering where rent’s gonna come from, utility bills, where it’s gonna come from and if the money’s gonna come in or not.”Lancaster relies on faith and family.“Trying to allow family to help us with groceries and just calling utility companies, rent, car payments, you know, just calling all these different companies to try to get extensions," she said.Preliminary numbers show about 187,000 unemployment claims were filed in Alabama since the beginning of March.Copyright 2020 WSFA 12 News.
