Stuck on completing unemployment claim - need help ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble finishing my claim and I'm not sure what to do next. Has anyone else been stuck in the middle of filing? What did you do to get it completed? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. What part are you stuck on? For me, it was the employment history section that gave me a headache.

Thanks for responding! I'm actually not sure which part I'm stuck on. The system just keeps saying 'incomplete' but doesn't tell me what's missing. It's so frustrating!

Oh man, that's the worst! Have you tried calling their helpline? Sometimes they can see things on their end that we can't.

I've been trying to call all day but can't get through. It's like they don't want us to file claims 🙄

Pro tip: double check all your personal info. I spent days trying to figure out why my claim was incomplete, turns out I had typed my SSN wrong 🤦‍♂️

Hey, 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. Has anyone else tried this?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

$20 to actually talk to a human? might be worth it at this point lol

Have you checked your email spam folder? Sometimes they send important info there and it gets missed. Almost happened to me!

The whole system is a joke. I've been trying to file for 3 weeks now. Every time I think I'm done, something else pops up. It's like they're purposely making it difficult so people give up.

Here's a comprehensive guide to completing your claim: 1. Gather all necessary documents before starting (pay stubs, W-2, etc.) 2. Double-check personal information (SSN, DOB, address) 3. Be precise with employment history dates 4. If self-employed or gig worker, have income records ready 5. Answer all questions, even if they seem irrelevant 6. Save progress frequently 7. If system errors occur, try a different browser or clear cache 8. For technical issues, screenshot error messages 9. Check email (including spam) for correspondence 10. If all else fails, persist with phone calls or try the callback service mentioned earlier Hope this helps someone! It's a frustrating process, but hang in there.

omg yes! I swear they do it on purpose

If your having trouble with online filing, try going to your local unemployment office in person. Sometimes face-to-face interaction can solve problems quicker.
