In December, following legal pressure and a directive from the Governor’s office, VEC changed its policy to pay weekly benefits up front while claimants wait on reviews and adjudication. 

At that time, VEC said there were 75,000 claims awaiting adjudication. 

Based on the new policy, if a person received benefits but then was later deemed ineligible, they’d be required to pay that money back.

The policy shift was supposed to help get money to people more quickly, so they wouldn’t wait months for a review. McNair said that hasn’t happened for him.

“We’re getting a lot of people suffering who don’t have to suffer,” he said. “It’s beyond…
