Ugh, not again! 🙄 The site's been so unreliable lately. I swear it's down more than it's up. Have you tried calling? That might be your best bet at this point.

Pro tip: try calling right when they open. Sometimes you can snag a spot in the queue before it fills up.

I found a way 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

I was skeptical at first too, but it actually worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

How long did you have to wait?

It took about 2 hours, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They called me when an agent was ready.

Have you tried accessing the site from a different device or browser? Sometimes that can help if its a local issue.

This is getting ridiculous. The DOL needs to get their act together. We're already struggling and now we can't even access the benefits we're entitled to. 😤

Preach! 🙌 It's like they're making it hard on purpose.

I heard they're updating the system. Hopefully it'll be more reliable after that.

Here's what I've learned about certifying for missed weeks: 1. You typically have up to 14 days after the end of the week to certify. 2. If you miss that window, you'll need to contact DOL directly. 3. Be prepared to explain why you missed the certification. 4. Have your work search records ready, they might ask for them. 5. If the website is down, keep trying at off-peak hours (early morning or late night). 6. As a last resort, you can try to certify by phone, but it's often just as frustrating. Hope this helps! Hang in there, we're all in the same boat. 🚣♀️

I'm in the same situation. Missed a couple weeks due to a family emergency and now I'm stressing about getting it sorted. The system is such a mess. 😫
