Unemployment payment delayed due to adjudication issue - terrible phone experience, need advice

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with the same BS for months now. It's like they're purposely making it difficult for us to get our benefits. Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the unemployment office's ass.

I found a method 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/AsdxiF0IH1k

Here's what worked for me: 1. Document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact them. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. 4. Check your online account for any pending tasks or documents they might need. 5. Consider reaching out to your local legal aid office. They sometimes offer free help with unemployment issues. 6. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment support in your state. They often have insider tips. Hang in there. I know it's frustrating, but don't give up!

lol welcome to the club 🤡 I've been waiting 6 months and still nothing. The system is a joke.

Have you checked if there's any missing information on your claim? Sometimes they don't tell you if something's missing and it just sits there in limbo.

Protip: call right when they open. Like, start dialing 2 minutes before. You'll have a much better chance of getting through.

Anyone else notice how they always seem to 'lose' our documents? I've had to send in the same forms like 3 times now. So frustrating!
