2 months, no UI payments or updates. Broke and desperate. Any advice?

Man, that sucks. I'm in the same boat 🚣‍♀️ It's been almost 3 months for me and still nothing. The system is so broken, it's ridiculous.

I found a way to actually 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

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this mess for months: • First, make sure your claim is actually processed. Sometimes they get stuck in the system. • Check your online account daily for any updates or requests for additional info. • If you can, try to speak with a rep. They might be able to push your claim through. • Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them. • Reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes intervene on your behalf. • Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence pays off. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together. 💪

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes the emails from unemployment go there. just a thought

ugh this system is such a joke. they expect us to live on air while they take their sweet time? 🤬

Has anyone tried going to the unemployment office in person? I'm thinking about doing that tomorrow, tired of waiting.

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold that way.

Anyone else notice that the website is always "under maintenance" when you try to log in? 🙄 It's like they're actively trying to make this difficult.

Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but it will come through eventually. Sending good vibes your way! ❤️

idk if this helps, but I started a side gig doing doordash while waiting for my unemployment to come thru. It's not much, but it's something to keep me afloat.
