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.
@Amina Sy Thanks for sharing your experience! I m'also waiting on back pay and it s'been such a frustrating process. Do you know if there s'a specific form or documentation they require when requesting backdating? I have my original unemployment date from March 2020 but I m'worried they might need additional proof. Also wondering if anyone knows roughly how long the backdating process takes once you finally get through to someone at DES?

Hi Robert, have you tried calling the and speaking to an agent to a claim? That is the fastest way, by far.
