Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? It's like they're hoping we'll just go away if they ignore us long enough.
100% agree. It's a war of attrition and they're winning 😡

I heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Might be why it's taking so long for legit claims to get processed.
Yeah, I read about that too. Apparently some big ring got busted last month. We're all paying the price for those scumbags 😡
Need to change return date on EDD application - help!

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the unemployment system? This is ridiculous in 2023 💀
Preach! 🙌 It's like they're still using tech from the 90s
Fr tho. My grandma could design a better system than this 😂

I'm telling you, the real solution is to camp outside their office. Bring a tent, some snacks, and don't leave until they help you. Who's with me? ⛺️🏕️

Guys, I just got through after trying for weeks! Here's what worked for me: 1. Call at 2:55 PM 2. Press 1 for English 3. Then 1 for claim questions 4. Then 2 for existing claims 5. Then 4 for general questions I was on hold for about an hour, but I finally spoke to someone. Hope this helps!

Wait, 2:55 PM? Doesn't the office close at 3? How does that work?

They stop taking new calls at 3, but if you're already in the queue they'll still help you. That's why calling right before closing sometimes works better!
