DETR Nevada: Tips for reaching an agent to file unemployment appeal?

I tried, but kept getting error messages. The website is almost as bad as the phone system 😩

It worked for me! Took forever to get a response, but at least I didn't have to deal with the phone nightmare

The online system does have its glitches, but it's worth trying as a parallel effort to calling.

Yeah, because not calling at all will definitely solve our problems 🙄

Found the EDD troll 🤡

It’s a catch-22. We need help, but calling is the only immediate way to maybe get assistance.

Wait, is that actually an option? Where would I even find a fax machine in 2023? 😅

There are online fax services you can use. Might be worth a shot!

Surprisingly, some government offices still prefer faxed documents. It's worth trying if all else fails.

Preach! 🙌 It's like they forget we're real people with bills to pay

Come on, guys. They're probably just understaffed and overwhelmed. Cut them some slack.

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed advice! I'll definitely try these tips.

This should be pinned to the top of the subreddit. Super helpful!

You forgot step 8: Sacrifice your firstborn to the EDD gods 😂

This list is gold. I'd also add that it helps to stay calm and collected, as hard as it can be.

Same here. It's like they want us to give up and go away.

Omg yes! And we're trauma bonded with all the other claimants 😂

Time to break up with EDD and find a sugar daddy instead 💅

It's definitely a one-sided relationship, for sure. But we're all in this together!

I've actually been wondering the same thing. It's worth looking into.

Good luck suing a government agency. We'd all be dead before that case got resolved 💀

I read about some attempts in the past, but these cases are notoriously hard to win.

I hadn't thought of that. How do I find out who my assemblyperson is?

Just google "[your city] assemblyperson" and it should come up. Good luck!

They can definitely help by putting pressure on the system, and some offices even have liaison programs dedicated to this.

Yeah, I've tried that. Even set an alarm for 5 minutes before they open. Still no luck. It's like everyone else had the same idea lol

Pro tip: Try calling on Wednesdays. For some reason, it seems less busy then. Worked for me last month!

Another option might be to call just before they close. If you get through, the agents might be less rushed because there are fewer calls stacking up at the end of the day.

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

$20 just to talk to someone? That's ridiculous. The system is so broken 😡

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying, I was desperate enough to try anything. Worth every penny imo

While Claimyr can be effective, it does highlight the systemic issues with the EDD that a paid service is even a consideration.

LOL this made me laugh way harder than it should have 🤣

Don't give them ideas for budget cuts!

Feels like it sometimes! The hold music is permanently etched in my brain.

47 calls?! You've got some serious patience. Congrats on finally getting through!

The real MVP right here 🏆

Dedication pays off. Hopefully, you got the help you needed.

Thank you so much. It's nice to know I'm not alone in this struggle.

You've got this! The support here is amazing. Feel free to vent anytime.
