Not to be that guy, but have you tried faxing them? I know it sounds archaic, but I got a response within a week after sending a fax. Might be worth a shot!
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 🤣 But hey, if it works, it works!
Lol I know right? But seriously, sometimes the old school methods cut through the digital clutter.

Quick question - when you faxed your docs, did you include your claim number on every page? I've heard that can help prevent them from 'losing' your stuff.
I did on the cover sheet, but not every page. That's a good tip, I'll try that next time. Thanks!
Guys I finaly got through on the phone after trying for WEEKS. heres what I did: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 am 2. Press 1 for English (or 2 for Spanish) 3. Then 1 for claim questions 4. Then 2 for employer 5. THEN 4 for general info Somehow this got me to a real person in like 20 minutes! no idea why but it worked 🤷♂️
You cracked the code! 🕵️♂️ Gonna try this tomorrow, thanks!
I've been playing phone menu roulette for days, will def give this a shot

Unpopular opinion: maybe try looking for work instead of waiting for a handout? 🤷♂️
Dude, read the room. Not everyone can just magically find a job overnight. 🙄

oof, sounds rough buddy. i had a similar issue last year and it took MONTHS to resolve. my advice? patience and persistence. also, start meditating cuz youre gonna need zen levels of calm to deal with this bs 🧘♂️
Have you considered reaching out to a legal aid society? Many offer free consultations for cases like this. They might be able to give you some direction or even represent you if things get complicated.
I hadn't even thought about legal aid. That's a great suggestion, thank you! I'll look into local options.

This happened to my cousin last year. Turns out there was a glitch in the system that didn't register her switch from unemployment to disability properly. Took forever to fix but they eventually sorted it out. Hang in there!

•Oh wow, that's interesting. Did she have to do anything special to get them to discover the glitch?

•She had to be super persistent. Called like every other day and eventually got to someone in IT who looked deeper into it. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that
