How do I get my back pay for

To all those having trouble reaching a human at Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/vwA1GGuV83Y

I'm in a similar situation waiting for my back pay. From what I've learned, you'll need to contact directly to request backdating of your claim. The phone numbers Tom shared look helpful - I've been having trouble getting through on the regular lines. You might also want to gather all your documentation showing when you first became unemployed due to COVID-19, as they'll likely ask for proof of your eligibility period. Has anyone else here had success with the backdating process? Would love to hear about your experience and timeline.
