Can't reach anyone to check claim payment - help!

Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating time trying to check on my claim payment. I've been calling for days and can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else had this problem or found a way to actually talk to a real person? I'm getting desperate here!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. It's like they don't want us to reach them 🙄 Have you tried calling right when they open? That worked for me after like 50 attempts lol

I've tried that too! No luck so far. How long did it take you to finally get through?

It took me about a week of trying every morning. Keep at it! 💪

Pro tip: use the Spanish line and then ask for English. Sometimes works!

I found a method that actually works to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Wait, we have to PAY to talk to someone about our benefits? That's messed up 😡

I get it, but for me it was worth the $20 to actually get my issue resolved. Time is money, ya know?

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

This is ridiculous. The system is broken and they don't care about us at all. I've been trying for MONTHS to get my claim sorted out. Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it. 😤

Here's what worked for me after weeks of trying: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 AM 2. Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish) 3. Then press 1, 2, 4 in that order 4. If you hear music, hang up and try again 5. Repeat until you get in the queue It took me about 30 tries but I finally got through. Don't give up!
