How to request waiting week for UI weekly benefit?

Ugh, the waiting week is such a pain! I had to deal with this last month. Have you tried logging into your account and looking for an option to request it? Sometimes it's hidden in the menus.

I found a method to 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/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The waiting week is such bs. Why do we even have to do this? Its not like were choosing to be unemployed. The system is broken 😤

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log into your account 2. Go to the 'Claim Weekly Benefits' section 3. There should be an option for 'Request Waiting Week' 4. Fill out the form and submit 5. If you don't see this option, your claim might not be fully processed yet If you can't find it online, definitely call them. It's a hassle, but sometimes it's the only way to get things sorted. Good luck!

lol welcome to unemployment hell. grab a seat, the wait is gonna be loooong 🤡

Has anyone heard about the new bill they're trying to pass? Supposedly it's gonna streamline the whole unemployment process. Might help with issues like this in the future.
