DEO claim pending adjudication for 5+ months, no benefits received. Help!

I found a way to solve pending unemployment claim for months, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0CBiocqRlI

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat for 4 months. It's ridiculous how long they make us wait. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through, but it might help.

5 months?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I found a method 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/AsdxiF0IH1k

The whole system is broken af 🤬 I've been waiting 3 months and still nothing. This is peoples livelihoods were talking about!

Here's what I did to finally get my claim resolved after 4 months of waiting: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Contact your state representative and senator. Send them a detailed email explaining your situation. 3. File a complaint with the Department of Labor. Sometimes this can trigger a review of your case. 4. If you're really desperate, consider reaching out to local media. Sometimes public pressure can work wonders. 5. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to unemployment issues in your state. Sometimes you can get insider tips or even find employees who can help. 6. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. Some lawyers offer free consultations for unemployment cases. Don't give up! It's a frustrating process, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes important emails from unemployment end up there. just a thought 🤷‍♂️

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a small error on my initial application that was holding everything up. Double-check all your info if you can access it online.

5 months is rediculous! 😡 I thought my 2 month wait was bad. Sending good vibes your way, hope it gets resolved soon!

Not sure if this helps, but I've heard some people have had luck reaching out via Twitter. Apparently some unemployment offices have social media teams that can sometimes escalate issues.

I'm in a similar situation - been waiting 6 months now with no resolution. The advice about contacting your state representative is solid. I also recommend filing a complaint with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity's customer service portal if you haven't already. Document every interaction you have with them, including case numbers and names of anyone you speak with. Also, try calling the Spanish language line (even if you don't speak Spanish) - sometimes it's less busy and they can transfer you to an English-speaking agent. The wait times are absolutely unacceptable, but don't give up! Keep pushing and trying different approaches.

I'm so sorry you're going through this - 5+ months is absolutely unacceptable! I went through something similar earlier this year and it's incredibly stressful. Here are a few things that helped me finally get movement on my case: 1. Try the "callback" feature on the DEO website if it's available - sometimes it's faster than calling directly 2. Email your claim details to your county's unemployment office (some have dedicated email addresses for pending cases) 3. Consider reaching out to Florida's unemployment advocacy groups - they sometimes have direct contacts within DEO 4. Keep a detailed log of every attempt you make to contact them - dates, times, reference numbers, etc. This documentation can be crucial if you need to escalate The system is definitely broken and it's not your fault. Keep pushing and trying different approaches - persistence really does pay off eventually. You've got this! 💪
