have you tried faxing your documents? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes it gets processed faster than online submissions. worth a shot! π€·ββοΈ
This is why we need UBI. The current system is broken beyond repair. π€
idk about that. UBI sounds good in theory but who's gonna pay for it? We're already drowning in taxes

There are lots of proposed ways to fund UBI, like redirecting current welfare spending, implementing a VAT, or taxing big tech. It's not as impossible as it seems!

have u tried turning it off and on again? π jk jk. but srsly, sometimes the online system glitches. try logging out and back in, might update ur status
Oof, I remember those days. Unemployment was the worst. Hang in there, OP! This too shall pass. πͺ
lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy. where nothing makes sense and everything takes 10x longer than it should π€‘
Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the phone lines.
Oh that's a good idea! I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Hey OP, hang in there. I know it feels hopeless, but keep pushing. I was in your shoes 6 months ago and it eventually got sorted. Don't let the bastards grind you down!
I totally get it. Just remember, this too shall pass. And when it does, you'll appreciate every paycheck so much more!

It's important to stay positive and hopeful, even when things seem bleak.

I feel ya, buddy. I was in the same boat last year. It's like they want us to starve while they take their sweet time. Have you tried calling them every single day? That's what finally worked for me.
Did you have to call at specific times to get through faster?

I feel your pain, OP. Hang in there. This too shall pass. π
Thanks for the encouragement, it's much needed during these times.

We have to stand strong together as a community. Things will improve!

In my experience, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. The system is so overwhelmed right now, it's hard to predict. Have you tried calling them directly?
Same here. I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind if I hear that automated voice one more time π«

Try calling during non-peak hours like early morning or late afternoon. It sometimes helps avoid the long queues.

If you want to speak with and ASAP, just click the green button, enter in your phone callback number, and wait for your call. That's it!

PSA: Be careful about what info you share when trying to verify your identity. Scammers are taking advantage of all this confusion. Never give out your full SSN over the phone!

Good point! I got a call last week that seemed fishy. Always better to call them directly using the number from the official website.

anybody else notice how the unemployment website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? π

Pro tip: try using it late at night or early morning. Less traffic, fewer issues.
