Hey OP, have you checked if there's been any recent system updates or policy changes? Sometimes they roll out new stuff without really announcing it and it messes everything up for a while.

Anyone else feel like we need a complete overhaul of the entire system? It's 2023 and we're still dealing with these archaic processes. SMH.
Preach! 🙌 The whole thing is held together with duct tape and prayers at this point.

PSA: Watch out for scams! There are a lot of fake 'unemployment assistance' services out there trying to steal your info. NEVER give out your SSN or bank details to anyone who contacts you first!

Have you tried networking on LinkedIn? I've had some luck there finding opportunities that aren't posted on job boards.
