BTW if none of the fixes work for you, try using a completely different device. My CONNECT account wouldn't work on my laptop AT ALL last month but worked perfectly fine on my sister's iPad. Makes zero sense but that's DEO for you!
UPDATE: For anyone finding this post later - the homepage navigation method worked for me (don't click directly on claim weeks link). I was able to successfully claim my weeks. The system still glitches if I try to use the direct link, but going through the homepage works every time.
Have u tried the automated phone system? I couldnt find it online either but when i called the main DEO number (not the regular customer service) and went through the automated menu there was an option specifically for tax documents. Might be worth trying before spending hours trying to talk to a human.
This is a great suggestion! The automated system option is actually pretty useful for document requests. The menu option should be something like "For tax documents or 1099-G information, press 3" (though the exact number might vary). Just make sure you have your claimant ID and PIN ready before calling.
Just wondering did u check ur spam folder in ur email??? Sometimes DEO sends electronic copies and they go to spam. Worth checking!!
Quick update based on recent changes - just last month, the DEO implemented a new processing system for extensions that's been causing some unusual delays. The current average processing time has increased to about 12 business days according to what agents are telling claimants. If you're approaching that timeframe, I'd recommend checking your CONNECT inbox for any requests for additional information. Sometimes they send these without any notification and your extension won't process until you respond.
UPDATE: My extension finally processed! It took exactly 9 business days but this morning when I logged in, my account now shows active with the extended benefits. For anyone else waiting - check your CONNECT inbox daily for any requests (I had one asking me to verify my last employment date), keep claiming weeks even while exhausted, and make sure you're doing all 5 work searches. Thanks for everyone's help and advice!
did u check ur way2go card if u have 1? sometimes they send it there even if u picked direct deposit. suuuuper annoying!

One more tip: if you don't see movement in 72 hours as promised, call back and ask specifically for a "BWI ticket number" for your escalation. This is an internal tracking number they use, and having this number will help if you need to follow up again. Every time they say they're escalating something, you should get one of these ticket numbers.

•Thank you! I didn't know to ask for this. I'll definitely call back if I don't see changes in 72 hours and request the BWI ticket number.

FINAL UPDATE: It worked!!! After 6 weeks of nothing happening, I finally got all my back pay deposited yesterday! For anyone else stuck in post-appeal limbo, here's what finally worked for me: 1) Used Claimyr to get through to DEO, 2) Spoke with an appeals department agent who escalated my case, 3) Contacted my state rep who also pushed on my behalf. Three days later, everything was processed and paid. Thanks to everyone who helped with advice!
