Listen up everyone - heres what actually works. I used to work for the unemployment office. The phone system is overwhelmed but there ARE ways to get through: 1. Best times to call are Tuesday-Thursday (avoid Mondays!) 2. Try between 10:30-11:30am or 2:30-3:30pm when lunch shifts change 3. Have all your info ready when you call 4. If you need immediate help, use claimyr.com - yes it costs money but it works 5. Keep detailed records of all your call attempts Dont give up, eventually youll get through!
Important info for your situation: You need to have earned 10x your benefit rate in covered employment since filing your last claim AND worked in at least two calendar quarters. Sounds like you should be good since you worked July-December. Just use up those 5 days and then you can file fresh when your benefit year ends.

use claimyr.com to get through on the phone. saved my sanity
