Good luck with that! I opened a claim last month and it was a nightmare. Took me hours just to get through the phone menu. Make sure you have all your documents ready before you start.

Hours? Consider yourself lucky! I've been trying for weeks and still can't get through 😭

Pro tip: call right when they open. It's still a wait, but way better than mid-day.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the wait. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Ize0EkN4HDI

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks? No way, I'd rather wait on hold for free.

I get the skepticism, but it seriously saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imo.

Make sure you double-check all the info you enter. One typo and you'll be stuck in bureaucratic hell for weeks 😫

Anyone else feel like the whole system is designed to make us give up? 🤔 It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits.

Nah, never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. The system's just outdated af.

Here's a comprehensive guide to opening a new claim: 1. Gather all necessary documents (ID, pay stubs, employment history) 2. Choose the right time to apply (early morning is best) 3. Use a stable internet connection or phone line 4. Be patient and persistent 5. Double-check all information before submitting 6. Keep a record of your claim number and all communications 7. Follow up regularly if you don't hear back Remember, the process can take time. Don't get discouraged if it's not instant. Good luck!

Great advice, but you forgot step 8: Sacrifice a goat to the unemployment gods 🐐😂

Has anyone tried using the online portal instead of calling? I've heard mixed things.

I did. It's hit or miss. Sometimes it works great, other times it crashes mid-application. 🤷♂️

OP, what industry are you in? Some have specific claim processes that might be helpful to know about.
