Need help updating phone # with FL DEO before upcoming hearing - can't get through!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment office is a nightmare to get through to. Have you tried calling right when they open? That's worked for me in the past.

I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/AsdxiF0IH1k

Have you tried updating your info online? Sometimes thats faster than calling

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documents: claim number, ID, recent paystubs, anything related to your case. 2. Try the online portal first thing in the morning, like 6 AM. Sometimes it works better then. 3. If that fails, start calling at 7:59 AM, right before they open. Keep redialing. 4. Use multiple phones if you can. Get family members to help. 5. While on hold, keep checking your online account. Sometimes updates magically appear. 6. If all else fails, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite things. 7. Document EVERYTHING. Every call, every attempt, every error message. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! You've got this! 💪

smh the system is so broken. why do we have to jump through hoops just to update a phone number?

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling your local career center. Sometimes they can help or at least transfer you to someone who can.

have u tried sending a carrier pigeon? might be faster than getting thru to unemployment lmao 🐦
