Need help with DEO adjudication decision - tips for reaching a human?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to actually talk to anyone. Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that might work but haven't had any luck myself.

I actually found a method that works! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then calls you when a real person picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/AsdxiF0IH1k

Here's what I've learned from dealing with the unemployment office for months: • Call early in the week (Monday or Tuesday) if possible • Have all your info ready before you call (claim number, dates, etc.) • Be polite but persistent with the rep you get • If one person can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor • Keep a log of all your calls and who you spoke with • Follow up any phone conversations with an email for documentation Hope this helps someone! It's a frustrating process but don't give up.

has anyone else noticed that the website is always "under maintenance" when you need it most? I swear they do it on purpose 🤔

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on an adjudication decision for 3 months now. This whole system is a joke. How are we supposed to survive while they take their sweet time?

Pro tip: if you get through to someone who can't help, don't hang up! Ask them to transfer you to the right department. Sometimes they can get you through faster than if you called again.

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to navigate this system? I swear, half the battle is learning their lingo and decoding all the acronyms 🤣
