Hi I am in AZ and I have never filed unemployment before and had a question. I had worked remote for a PA company for 12 years, and my last day was May 1st. My last paycheck was May 8th and my boss did not pay me the vacation owed or the commission owed to me until the next day he had overnighted me a company check, not a payroll check. I had already put my vacation owed to me when I signed up for unemployment but not the commission since he had said he might not pay me it because it's a small company and he does not run it like a normal boss/company, I received it and called the unemployment office and they said to file the wages under my weekly certification for last week so I did, I had to put that I earned wages so now it thinks i actually worked for the company again last week and said something about my claim, almost like I have to do a new claim or something. I will call them first thing tomorrow but will they be able to fix this and remove it. The commission owed to me was from months ago but I still wanted to make sure I reported any income I received.

I lost my job of almost 20 years because my position was eliminated due to sales, I did computer programming for a printing company. I am actually excited to try something completely different outside the tech world. I want to do something meaningful and not be sitting at the desk. I am 49 and female. I just applied to my city for a police recruit position. I am still in the beginning state waiting to take my NTN exam this week. I just have a few questions though on the background check, I am way overthinking things, but need to make sure I do everything correct. I am overly honest to the point where it might be silly on the things I think I should list. I have never done illegal drugs, only tried a legal gummy one time in my life, I did shoplift at 13-14 years old and not caught, drank a few drinks and drove at 21 and early 30's a few times. I plan on listing all of that, but then my mind wonders if I need to list so many minor things like returning things too much, signing up for coupons under different emails so I can use the coupon again, taking advantage of satisfaction guarantee or money back things, having a rooster when I shouldn't have one but my neighbors are fine with it, suspended in 7th grade for kicking a boy when he said perverted stuff to me, lying to my boss about my personal life because he was too nosey so I didn't want to tell him stuff. Are those things to be listed? If so there are probably even more, I mean I am not perfect, but some of this stuff is SO minor, how much do they want to hear? I guess I am worried if I get to the polygraph and they ask me is there anything else you didn't tell us on the form, well yes, there are tons of little things but I can't think of all of them. I feel like I have to tell them about the rooster since my social media page shows him right? I don't think that's a crime, it's just a city violation. Any advice would be great on this because I am a really kind person who treats people so good and don't want to ruin this chance over not doing this correctly.
