Ugh, the unemployment system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue where they mixed up my employers. It took forever to get it sorted out. Have you tried calling them?

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 happened to me too! Turns out my previous employer had changed their company name, but it wasn't updated in the system. I had to provide documentation to prove it was the same company. Took about 3 weeks to resolve. Hang in there!

Have you tried checking your account online? Sometimes the system updates there before they can tell you over the phone. Might be worth a shot!

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's clearly not equipped to handle the volume of claims, especially with all the pandemic-related job losses. We should be writing to our representatives about this!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Take screenshots of your online account showing the discrepancy. 2. Gather any paperwork from your employer showing the correct company name. 3. Write a clear, concise letter explaining the situation. 4. Submit all of this through the online portal AND mail hard copies to the unemployment office. 5. Follow up every week until it's resolved. I went through something similar and this approach finally got it sorted. It's a pain, but persistence is key. Don't give up! Also, if you're really stuck, consider reaching out to your state representative. Sometimes they can help push things along.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of bureaucracy. where nothing makes sense and everything takes 10x longer than it should 🤡

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the phone lines.
