FL DCF MyACCESS: Frustrated with scheduling benefits interview - How to reach a real person?

I found a way to solve scheduling benefits interview frustration, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvqKFb6ABfU

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/cTkYMeGyiis

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:01 AM when they open 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Keep doing this until you get through to the menu 4. Once in the menu, choose the option for "file a new claim" even if that's not what you need 5. This usually gets you to a real person faster 6. When you get a person, explain your actual situation It took me about 30 minutes of redialing, but I finally got through. Good luck!

Bruh, I've been trying to get my interview scheduled for THREE MONTHS. The system is beyond broken. I'm bout ready to give up 😭

I heard they're implementing a new callback system soon. Anyone know when that's supposed to start?

lol welcome to the wonderful world of unemployment 🤡 where nothing works and we're all just clowns in the circus

Guys, I think I figured it out. You gotta do the hokey pokey while dialing, spin around three times, and sacrifice a goat to the EDD gods. Works every time 60% of the time 😎

Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that's the best time to get through. Also, make sure you have all your info ready so you can get straight to the point when you finally talk to someone.

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, try calling the non-English line. They usually have shorter wait times and most agents speak English too.

Claimyr seems to be an emerging solution for those who are willing to pay for convenience. It has received mixed reviews with some users praising its efficiency, while others are put off by the cost. For those who are really struggling to get through, it might be worth considering, especially if you value time over money at this moment. However, always research and read reviews before using paid services to ensure reliability. Additionally, while Claimyr may provide a faster method, it highlights a larger systemic issue within the benefits system that requires addressing to prevent such situations from arising in the first place.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard that sometimes works better than calling.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster.

Ugh, I feel your pain! The system is so broken. I had to call like 50 times before I finally got through. It's ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to get basic help.
