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

Same boat here. Filed 10 weeks ago and still nothing. The system is so messed up rn 😤

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. Used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the menu, stays on hold, then forwards the call when an agent picks up. Costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/W4S1W6V2hOQ

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they post updates there without sending emails.

This is ridiculous. We need to organize and demand better service from the unemployment office. Who's with me?

Ok, here's what I've learned after dealing with this for 3 months: 1. Keep calling. It sucks, but persistence pays off. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. Make sure all your docs are in order and uploaded. 4. If you can, reach out to your local rep. They sometimes can help. 5. Join FB groups for unemployment in your state. Lots of good info there. 6. Be prepared for long wait times. The system is overwhelmed. Hang in there, OP. It's a nightmare, but you'll get through it.

have u tried faxing ur docs? sometimes that works faster than online 🤷‍♂️

Bruh, I feel you. Been there, done that. Took me 11 weeks to see a dime. Stay strong 💪

Pro tip: call right when they open. Better chance of getting through

This is why we need UBI. The current system is a joke 🤡
