Payments delayed AGAIN - how are you dealing with the stress?

Ugh, I feel you. The stress is real. I've been waiting for weeks now and it's driving me crazy. Can't sleep, can't focus on anything else. It's like my whole life is on hold.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. Used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to your phone. Costs $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/DOLxZQb92wM

Has anyone else noticed that the payment dates keep changing on the website? One day it says it'll be deposited, then nothing happens and the date moves. It's like they're playing games with us 😤

I've been dealing with this for THREE MONTHS now. Called my local rep, filed complaints, everything. Nothing works. The system is completely broken and nobody seems to care about us little guys.

Okay, let's break this down. Here's what I've learned after dealing with this mess for way too long: • First, document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online status change. You might need it later. • If you can't get through on the main line, try calling right when they open or just before closing. Sometimes you get lucky. • Check if your local unemployment office has in-person appointments. It's a pain, but face-to-face can sometimes get results. • Look into if your state has an unemployment advocate or ombudsman. They can sometimes cut through red tape. • If all else fails, contact your state representative or senator. Their office can often make inquiries on your behalf. Remember, persistence is key. It sucks, but keep pushing. You'll get through eventually!

Anyone else feel like theyre gonna snap? I'm so close to just showing up at the office and refusing to leave until someone helps me lol

Pro tip: if you're calling, use the Spanish line even if you don't speak Spanish. Wait times are usually shorter and most agents speak English too. Just don't abuse it if you're fluent in Spanish!
