Need help with CO unemployment reinstatement - docs needed & how to reach an agent?
Hey everyone, I need some help with getting information about reinstatement for unemployment in Colorado. Has anyone gone through this process recently? What kind of documents do I need to prepare? Any tips on how to get through to an agent quickly? I've been trying to call for days with no luck.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The Colorado unemployment system is a nightmare to navigate. I went through reinstatement last month and it was a headache. Here's what I learned: • You'll need proof of income for the period they're questioning • Any correspondence you've had with them about your claim • A written statement explaining why you need reinstatement As for getting through to an agent, good luck. I spent hours on hold before I finally got someone.

•This is super helpful, thanks for sharing! Did you have to provide bank statements as proof of income or was a pay stub enough?

•I used pay stubs, but I've heard some people had to provide bank statements too. It might depend on your specific situation.

I found a way to get through to an agent without waiting for hours! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then calls you when an agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me so much time and frustration. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com

The reinstatement process is a joke. I've been trying for weeks and keep getting the runaround. The whole system needs an overhaul. 🤬

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold that way.
