2 months, no unemployment benefits. CDLE ghosting me. Anyone else?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for almost 3 months now. It's like they've completely forgotten about us. Have you tried calling them? I've been trying to get through but it's always busy.

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

This is absolutely unacceptable. We need to start contacting our representatives and demanding action. The unemployment office is clearly understaffed and overwhelmed, but that's no excuse for leaving people hanging for months!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there without sending notifications. Also, make sure you're still certifying every week even if you haven't been approved yet.

I hate to be that guy, but have you considered looking for temp work while you wait? I know it sucks, but at least it's some income. Gig economy jobs saved my butt while I was waiting on my claim.

Here's what I've learned after dealing with unemployment for way too long: 1. Keep certifying every week, even if you haven't been approved. 2. Check your online account daily for updates. 3. If you can, try calling right when they open or just before they close. 4. Consider reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes can help push things along. 5. Document everything. Keep a log of when you certify, call, or take any action related to your claim. 6. Join local Facebook groups or subreddits about unemployment in your state. Sometimes you can get insider tips. 7. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service to get through on the phone, but be cautious and do your research. 8. Don't give up! It's frustrating, but persistence usually pays off eventually. Hang in there, everyone. This system is a mess, but we're all in this together. 💪

lol remember when they said the economy was recovering? what a joke 🤡

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative? I've heard sometimes they can help speed things up.
