Ugh, that sucks. I've been there too. The whole system is a mess. Have you tried calling the unemployment office directly? Sometimes you can get lucky and reach someone who can help.

I found a method 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

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

This is why the whole system needs an overhaul. It's ridiculous that people can't access the benefits they're entitled to because of bureaucratic nonsense. We need to put pressure on our lawmakers to fix this mess.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, messages, and attempts to reach the doctor and unemployment office. 2. File an appeal immediately. Even if your claim expires, you can still appeal the decision. This buys you more time. 3. Contact your state representative and senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with unemployment issues. 4. Look for legal aid in your area. Many offer free assistance with unemployment claims. 5. Check if there are any emergency extensions or special provisions due to COVID that might apply to your case. 6. Keep trying to reach the doctor's office. If possible, go in person to schedule an appointment. 7. Consider using a paid service to get through to unemployment if you can afford it. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

idk man, sounds like ur in a tough spot. have u tried just showing up at the docs office? sometimes u gotta be the squeaky wheel to get the grease ya know

Is anyone else sick of how the unemployment system treats us like we're trying to scam them? We're just trying to survive here. It's not our fault the economy is a dumpster fire. 🔥
