CDLE denied my claim saying no income proof - but I have it! What now?

Ugh, I've been there. It's so annoying when they mess up like this. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your income documents (pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns) 2. Call the unemployment office ASAP 3. Explain the situation calmly but firmly 4. Ask how you can submit the additional proof 5. Get the name of who you spoke to and a reference number 6. Follow up in writing (email or fax) with a summary of the call 7. Keep calling until it's resolved Don't give up! The system is a mess, but you gotta fight for what you're owed. Good luck!

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

classic unemployment office move 🙄 they always assume were trying to scam them when THEYRE the ones messing everything up

Have you tried faxing your documents? Sometimes that works better than calling or emailing. Old school but effective lol

I had the exact same problem last year. Turns out they hadnt recieved my w-2 from one employer. Check if all your income sources are accounted for in there system.

its rediculous how broken the system is. took me 3 months to get my claim sorted. hang in there OP

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your state representative's office. They often have contacts in the unemployment office and can help push things along.

ugh im in the same boat. been trying to get this fixed for weeks. feels like im just screaming into the void 😫
