Hi Santos, the number is the main unemployment number everyone must call. Problem is this it’s very hard to reach them. If you used Claimyr you will get a from 800-300-5616. Just stay on the line and politely ask how to solve your pending issue. They may transfer you, and wait for a few hours, but this is normal. Hang in there and if drops your call, just reply to the SMS text message to get a free call back.

I'm dealing with a similar situation - pending payments for weeks now. One thing that helped me was calling right at 8:00 AM when they open, and I kept hitting the prompts quickly: 1-2-1 then your SSN, then 1. Sometimes it takes dozens of tries but I finally got through. Also, make sure you don't have any flags on your account that might be causing the hold - things like identity verification issues or work search requirements. When you do get through, ask them specifically what's causing the pending status. Don't let them just transfer you without an explanation. Good luck Santos!

@Connor O'Brien This is really helpful advice! I'm new to dealing with issues and wasn't sure about the timing strategy. The 8 AM call time makes so much sense - I've been trying randomly throughout the day with no luck. Can you clarify what you mean by "flags on your account"? How would someone check if they have identity verification issues or other problems that might be causing the pending status? I want to make sure I'm prepared with the right questions when I finally get through to someone.
