DFCS SNAP benefits approved but no payment date - Worker unresponsive and EBT address outdated

I found a way to solve approved benefits payment delay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLB7w2u5Ec

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try faxing. I know it sounds ancient, but sometimes it works when nothing else does.

Yall ever think about how wild it is that we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? The system is rigged, I swear 😤

Hey, not sure if this applies to your situation, but I recently learned that some offices are doing virtual appointments now. Might be worth checking if that's an option for you. It's way easier than trying to get through on the phone!

Ugh, I feel your pain. The system is so broken rn. I've been waiting for weeks to hear back about my case. Have you tried going to the office in person? Sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

Hey, quick question - did you double-check that your case number is correct on all your documents? I once had a similar issue and it turned out there was a typo in my case number. Might be worth looking into!

I found a way 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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Qx4Cyim0X48

To address your concerns: First, stay persistent and don't lose hope. You've already been given great advice, like keeping a log of all communications and trying every possible way to reach them, including fax and social media. Claimyr can indeed help bridge the gap in communication with government agencies. It's a valid option if you're desperate for time; however, it does come with a cost. Weigh the urgency of your need against the expense. Meanwhile, keep checking both the online portal and your physical mail for any updates, as sometimes critical information is sent via traditional mail even when your online details aren't updated. Lastly, consider reaching out to local advocacy groups who specialize in social services; they might have additional resources or contacts that can expedite the process. Remember, this is a systemic issue affecting many, and sometimes it takes a combination of tactics to get the resolution you need.

Have you tried the old "press 0 repeatedly" trick when you call? Sometimes it bypasses the whole menu system and gets you to a human faster. Worth a shot!

Have you tried reaching out on social media? Sometimes tweeting at the official account can get their attention. Worth a shot!

Bruh, the EBT website is a joke. I updated my address like 3 months ago and it still shows the old one. But I'm still getting benefits at my new place, so idk what's up with that 🤷‍♂️

lmao welcome to the club 🤡 been dealing with this nonsense for months. its like playing phone tag with ghosts

Oof, sounds rough buddy. Hang in there! Remember, you're not alone in this struggle. We're all trying to navigate this maze together 💪

Plot twist: what if all the workers are actually robots and that's why they never answer? 🤖🤔 jk jk... unless? 👀

have you tried calling early in the morning? i usually have better luck getting through if i call right when they open

idk if this helps but I heard theres a new policy where they're supposed to process approved cases within 10 business days. might be worth mentioning if you get someone on the phone

I had a similar issue last month. Here's what worked for me: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact your worker. 2. Escalate: Ask to speak with a supervisor if your worker isn't responding. 3. Check your mail: Sometimes they send important info via snail mail even if your online account isn't updated. 4. Use the online portal: Keep checking for updates daily. 5. Contact your local representative: They can sometimes help push things along. Hope this helps! Hang in there, it's frustrating but you'll get through it.

I'm in the same boat, fam. Approved but no idea when the money's coming. It's like they expect us to live on air and good vibes 🙄💅
