DETR Nevada: Claim requires phone call - What to expect and tips for getting through

I found a way to solve calling unemployment for claim issue, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egZiLU2RSVE

Hey OP! I know it's super frustrating dealing with unemployment claims. From what I've gathered, when you're asked to call in, it usually means there's something specific about your claim that requires human intervention. It could be due to a recent layoff, discrepancies with your information, or other reasons needing clarification. Expect long wait times, so make sure to have a strong phone battery and a lot of patience. While using services like Claimyr.com can indeed expedite the process by reducing wait times, it's important to weigh the cost versus your time. Also keep in mind that while Claimyr may be a time-saver, it's not necessarily accessible or affordable for everyone. If you're looking for free alternatives, try calling as soon as lines open or using any online chat or social media options the unemployment office may offer. Stay positive—everyone here is rooting for you to get through this!

PROTIP: Use the unemployment office's Twitter. Sometimes they respond faster there than on the phone!

Hey, I found a way to actually get through to someone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool 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 how it works: https://youtu.be/joPqgg0bRFw

I swear the unemployment system is designed to make us give up. It's been 3 months and I'm still trying to get my claim sorted out. Hang in there OP, we're all in the same sinking boat 🚢

lol welcome to unemployment hell 🔥 where the rules are made up and your time doesn't matter

I've been through this before. Here's what you need to do: 1. Have all your documents ready (layoff letter, ID, etc.) 2. Be prepared to wait on hold for a LONG time 3. When you get through, explain clearly that you were laid off and the website told you to call 4. Ask what specific info they need from you 5. Take notes during the call! Good luck, OP. The system is a mess but hang in there!

PSA: If you're having trouble with your claim, check out r/unemployment. Lots of good info there!

Okay, let me put on my tin foil hat for a sec 🤡 What if they make it hard on purpose so fewer people get benefits? *X-Files theme plays*

Ugh, yeah I got that too. It's such a pain. I think they do it when theres something weird with your claim that needs manual review. Did you get laid off recently?

have you tried checkin your claim status online? sometimes that message is a glitch and goes away after a few days

yall remember when they said they were gonna "modernize" the unemployment system? 🤣 what a joke

pro tip: call right when they open. I got through in like 20 mins last week

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard that can help speed things up sometimes.

Hey OP, make sure you write down all your questions before you call. It's easy to forget stuff when you finally get through. Good luck!

i filed 6 weeks ago and still havent gotten any $$$. this whole system is a joke

Unpopular opinion: despite all the issues, we're lucky to have an unemployment system at all. Many countries don't. Doesn't excuse the problems, but perspective helps.
