Missed certifying UI benefits due to depression/ADHD. How to backdate claims?

I found a way to solve backdating missed unemployment claims, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MybdK7ID2ac

I feel you, OP. Mental health issues can really throw a wrench in the works when it comes to dealing with bureaucracy. Have you tried calling the unemployment office to explain your situation? They might be more understanding than you think.

Ugh, the unemployment system is such a mess. It's like they don't even consider that people might be dealing with mental health issues. 🙄 Good luck, OP. You're gonna need it.

I was in a similar boat last year. Depression hit me hard and I missed a few weeks of certifying. Here's what worked for me: 1. I called the unemployment office and explained my situation 2. They asked me to provide a letter from my therapist confirming my diagnosis and treatment 3. I had to fill out some backdating request forms 4. It took a few weeks, but they eventually approved my backdated claims Just be persistent and don't give up! It's your money and you deserve it.

have you tried using the online portal to backdate your claims? sometimes its easier than dealing with a person on the phone

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before and I know how to get it done. Here's the deal: 1. Document everything. Write down the dates you missed and why. 2. Get a letter from your doctor or therapist explaining your condition and how it affected your ability to certify. 3. Call the unemployment office early in the morning - like right when they open. You'll have better luck getting through. 4. Be polite but firm. Explain your situation clearly and ask about the process for backdating claims. 5. If the first person you talk to isn't helpful, don't be afraid to call back and try again. Sometimes you just need to get the right person. 6. Follow up regularly. These things can take time, so stay on top of it. 7. If all else fails, contact your local state representative's office. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, you're not alone in this. The system is tough, but you've got this! 💪

Hey guys, I found a method 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.

unpopular opinion: maybe if you cant even handle filing for unemployment regularly, you're not ready to have a job? 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone else noticed that the unemployment website is always down for "maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄 It's like they're trying to make this as difficult as possible.
