To all those having trouble reaching a human at Georgia Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/goJ2B2betto
Thanks for the heads up! I was wondering why my seemed to be running late this week. It's frustrating that holidays cause delays, but at least now I know what to expect. Does anyone know if they typically catch up quickly after the or if it pushes everything back by a few days?
From my experience, it usually pushes everything back by 2-3 business days after the holiday. So if you normally get paid on Tuesday, you might not see it until Thursday or Friday. It's really inconvenient, especially during weeks when people need the money most. I wish they would process payments ahead of time to avoid these delays.

I applied for PUA reconsideration but I'm still waiting to hear back. The fine print about the appeal process restarting is really concerning - has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried about losing my place in line if I'm not approved. Does anyone know how long the reconsideration process typically takes in Georgia?
When it comes to there is only GADOL. Just so you’re aware you’re not the only one getting the run around. Keep calling especially while the calls are free ! Take advantage of it and them everyday if you have too !

I've been dealing with this nightmare for over a month now! What's worked for me is using the automated system - dial the main number (877-709-8185) and when you get the menu, press 1 for English, then 1 again for insurance, then 3 for claim issues. Sometimes they offer a option where they'll call you back instead of you waiting on hold. It's not perfect but it beats sitting by the phone for 3+ hours. Also, I've had better luck on Thursday mornings around 8:15 AM (not exactly at 8 AM when everyone else is calling). The key is persistence - I probably made 200+ calls over 3 weeks before I finally got my issue resolved. Hang in there everyone, the system is broken but you will eventually get through!

•Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown of the phone system! I had no idea there was a option - I've been manually staying on hold this whole time like a fool. The tip about calling at 8:15 AM instead of exactly 8:00 AM is brilliant - makes total sense that everyone is probably hitting redial right at 8. I'm going to try your method tomorrow morning and see if I can finally get somewhere with my claim. 200+ calls sounds absolutely exhausting but knowing that persistence eventually paid off for you gives me hope. Did the system actually work reliably for you, or did you still end up having to stay on hold most of the time?

I've been struggling with the same issue for months! After reading through everyone's experiences here, I want to share what finally worked for me last week. I combined several of the strategies mentioned - I called at 8:12 AM on a Wednesday (avoiding the exact 8:00 rush), used the option that Amara mentioned (press 1, then 1, then 3), and had all my documents organized beforehand. The took about 90 minutes, but it was so much better than sitting on hold indefinitely. The representative was actually very helpful and resolved my claim issue in one call. For anyone still struggling, definitely try the system and don't call exactly at 8 AM - those few extra minutes really seem to make a difference in getting through. Keep pushing, it's worth it when you finally connect!
