I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and no one tells you. Hang in there, OP!
For real tho. It's like they WANT us to give up π

Hey, just a heads up - be careful about sharing any personal info when you do get through to someone. There's been a lot of scams lately targeting people with unemployment issues.

Has anyone tried filing a complaint with the ombudsman? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up.
I tried that once. Took forever to get a response, but it did eventually help. YMMV

Have you checked if there were any policy changes at the start of the new year? Sometimes they implement new rules in January and it can affect ongoing claims.
I hadn't thought of that. I'll look into it, thanks!

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard that sometimes gets a faster response.
Faxing? What year is it, 1995? π

I finally got through last week after trying for a month. Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and immediately redial 3. Repeat step 2 until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP no matter how long it takes It took me 3 hours of waiting, but I finally got my back pay sorted. Don't give up!
Beth Ford
β’Thanks for the tips! I'll try this tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed π€
3 hours?! I don't have that kind of time to waste. There's gotta be a better way.

Anyone else notice that their website always seems to be 'under maintenance' right when you need it most? π

OP, if you're really worried, you could try reaching out to your local state representative. Sometimes they can help push things along with the DOL.
