Pro tip: When you finally get through to an agent, ask for their employee ID or name. It helps if you need to follow up later. Also, see if they can give you a direct number or extension for next time.
OP, make sure you're reporting your gig work correctly on your weekly claims. Even if it's just a few hours, you gotta disclose it. Better safe than sorry!
Definitely! I reported it, which is why they're questioning my claim now. Just hope it doesn't mess everything up. π°
Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the actual phone lines. Worth a shot!
lol imagine having to use Twitter to get unemployment help. What a world we live in π€£
I've heard rumors they're updating their system soon. Anyone know if thats true or just wishful thinking?
Heard that too, but I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying that for years.
My cousin works in IT for the state (not DOL tho) and says its true. Supposed to roll out next year. Fingers crossed π€
Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard that sometimes gets a faster response.
Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! π€·ββοΈ
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!
Thanks for the tips! I'll try this tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed π€
Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes the unemployment office responds faster there. Worth a shot!

Has anyone tried filing a complaint with the ombudsman? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up.

β’I tried that once. Took forever to get a response, but it did eventually help. YMMV
