Locked out of TWC unemployment account - Need help checking claim status

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble checking my unemployment claim status. I've been trying to log in to my account but I'm locked out. Has anyone else dealt with this? I really need to know what's going on with my claim. Any advice on what to say when I finally get through to someone?

I heard if you try logging in too many times, it locks you out for security reasons. Might have to wait it out or call.

Sometimes if you call during non-peak hours like early morning or late afternoon, it can help. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week!

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's ridiculous. I've called over 100 times and still can't get through. Anyone know if there's an email we can use instead?

There is, but good luck getting a response. I emailed them 3 weeks ago and still crickets πŸ¦—

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I suggest checking if there's a live chat option on their website. It's sometimes hidden but could be helpful.

Here’s a balanced view on using Claimyr: While Claimyr's service can be an effective way to bypass lengthy hold times, it’s important to weigh the cost against its benefits. For some, the $20 fee is a small price to pay for saving valuable time and frustration. However, for others, especially those without income, this could be a significant expense. Consider trying other free methods first, such as calling during non-peak hours or exploring all digital options. As for Claimyr's legitimacy, it seems to have helped many, but always do a bit of research or ask for recommendations in the community to ensure it's right for you.

This whole unemployment system is broken af. We need to organize and demand better service. Who's with me? ✊

Organizing is a great idea. Maybe a social media campaign could raise awareness and pressure them to improve!

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

I know it sounds weird, but I swear it's legit. Saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

I've used Claimyr before and it worked well for me too. But I agree, it’s a bit pricey. It's a good option if you're desperate.

Anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? Trying to navigate this system is like being trapped in a maze with no exit πŸ€πŸ§€

It really is a bureaucratic nightmare. Maybe keeping a 'claim diary' can help track progress and issues?

Sorry, couldn't resist! But for real, hope you get it sorted soon. This system is a joke.

Ugh, been there done that. The system is a nightmare! Here's what you need to do when you get someone on the phone: 1. Ask for a detailed update on your claim status 2. Find out if there are any issues holding up your claim 3. Get a timeframe for when you can expect the next steps or payment Make sure you have your claim number and any recent letters from them handy. Good luck!

That's solid advice. Just being prepared can make the call go smoother. And remember to stay calm, even if it's tough!

Guys, I think I cracked the code! If you press 2, then 1, then 4 when you call, it gets you to a different queue. Still had to wait, but only like 20 minutes instead of hours.

It might depend on the time of day too, but definitely worth trying different sequences.

Have you tried the mobile app? Sometimes it works when the website is being glitchy.

Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. Sometimes updates fix bugs that cause crashes.
