2 months, no UI benefits. CDLE ghosting me. Help!

Ugh, I feel you. I'm in the same boat 🚣‍♀️ Been waiting for almost 3 months now. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Have you tried calling them? I've heard some people have had luck getting through if they call right when the office opens.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/W4S1W6V2hOQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there are issues they need you to resolve but they don't always notify you. Worth double-checking all the tabs and making sure everything is filled out correctly.

This is getting out of hand. We need to organize and put pressure on our representatives. Who's with me? 💪

Here's what worked for me after waiting for 10 weeks: 1. Check your online account daily for any new messages or requests for information. 2. If you can, try faxing your documents instead of uploading them online. Sometimes the online system glitches. 3. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the unemployment office and can help push your claim through. 4. Join Facebook groups for unemployment in your state. Sometimes they have insider info or tips. 5. If all else fails, consider using a paid service like Claimyr to get through on the phone. It costs money but might be worth it if you're desperate. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough but keep pushing!

have u tried emailing them? i got a response within a week when i did that

Bruh, 2 months is nothing. I've been waiting since March 2020. The system is completely FUBAR.

Has anyone tried the new chatbot on the unemployment website? I heard it can sometimes help with simple issues.

Plot twist: the unemployment office is actually run by squirrels and they're just really behind on their acorn paperwork 🐿️📄
