DETR claim restart held up after winning appeal - help!

Ugh, DETR is such a nightmare! I've been in a similar situation. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes you need to bug them constantly to get anything done.

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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Mc9FNfOF_yY

Here's what you need to do: 1. Gather all your documents: appeal decision, claim numbers, etc. 2. Call DETR and explain your situation clearly 3. Ask specifically why your claim restart is delayed despite winning the appeal 4. Request a supervisor if the agent can't help 5. Keep detailed notes of every call, including agent names and call reference numbers 6. If calling doesn't work, try reaching out to your state representative 7. Continue filing weekly claims no matter what Stay persistent! The system is broken, but you gotta keep pushing.

have u tried faxing ur appeal decision to them? sometimes that works better than calling

I swear, dealing with DETR is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and nobody tells you 🤡 Hang in there, OP!

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system that wasn't recognizing my appeal decision. Took forever to fix, but keep pushing!

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's additional info or required actions there that they don't tell you about.

ugh im in the same boat. been waiting 2 months for my restart. this system is so broken 😡

PROTIP: If you can't get through on the phone, try emailing them. I got a response within a week when I did that.
