CDLE Unemployment: How long for callback? Put in request at 9:20 AM, anxious for response

I found a way to solve unemployment callback delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaM6de--dSk

Claimyr can indeed be a useful tool to get through this frustrating system. However, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone, and at a cost of $20, it's understandable that some people might hesitate. It does use technology to navigate the automated phone systems, but outcomes can vary depending on the current demand and system changes. Always consider checking for reviews or testimonials to gauge recent user experiences before committing. Additionally, alongside using such services, it may be beneficial to also pursue traditional routes such as contacting state representatives or persistently trying during non-peak hours. Balancing these methods could increase your chances of reaching a resolution. Ultimately, persistent efforts, documentation, and community support are key strategies during these challenging times.

Pro tip: try calling right when they open. I've had better luck getting through early in the morning.

anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian novel? like, we cant even get basic help when we need it. smh

guys, i just got through after trying for weeks! heres what i did: 1. called exactly at 8:01 am 2. chose spanish option (even tho i dont speak spanish lol) 3. when someone answered, I just said "english please" and they transferred me 4. got my issue resolved in 20 mins hope this helps someone!

I found a method that actually works 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

Here's what I've learned after dealing with unemployment for way too long: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talked to, when, and what they said. 3. Be prepared when you do get through. Have all your info ready. 4. Stay calm. I know it's frustrating, but the person on the other end is probably overwhelmed too. 5. If you're not getting anywhere, try reaching out to your local government rep. 6. Check your online account regularly for updates or messages. 7. Join Facebook groups or forums for your state's unemployment. Sometimes you can get good tips there. Hope this helps someone. We're all in this together. 💪

Anyone else notice that their website is down like every other day? How are we supposed to check our claims if we can't even log in? 🤦‍♂️

I heard a rumor that if you press 0 repeatedly during the automated message, it'll eventually connect you to a person. Anyone tried this?

Honestly, the whole unemployment system is a joke. I've been trying to get my issue resolved for MONTHS. It's like they're purposely making it difficult 🤬

Ugh, good luck with that. I've been trying to get through for weeks. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone 🙄

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there without actually calling you back.

I feel your pain, OP. Hang in there. This too shall pass. 🙏

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?
