TWC: 4 weeks, no unemployment check. Running out of savings. Help?

Hey everyone, I'm in a tough spot. Been unemployed for a while now and I'm still waiting on my check. It's been 4 weeks already and I'm running low on my savings. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to speed things up or what might be causing the delay?

Man, that sucks. I've been there before. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? Sometimes they can give you more info on whats holding things up.

Yeah, I've tried calling but it's impossible to get through. Always busy or on hold forever 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. Like, set an alarm and everything. Sometimes you can get through faster that way.

4 weeks is a long time to wait. Have you checked your online account? Sometimes there's info there about whats holding up your claim.

I've checked but it just says 'pending'. No other details šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Yo, 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

Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

I was skeptical too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of frustration.

20 bucks tho? Thats kinda steep when youre already broke from waiting on unemployment 😬

I get it, but for me it was worth it to finally get some answers. Plus, if it helps you get your benefits faster, it pays for itself.

Here's what I've learned from my experience with unemployment: • First, make sure all your documents are in order. Sometimes delays happen because of missing info. • Check your spam folder regularly. Important emails can end up there. • If you can, try to speak with a rep. They might see issues you can't. • Keep a log of all your interactions with the unemployment office. • Don't give up! It can be frustrating, but persistence usually pays off. Hang in there, OP. I know it's tough, but you'll get through this. šŸ’Ŗ

It was rough. Had to borrow money from family and max out my credit cards. But I finally got it sorted.

Plot twist: the unemployment office is actually run by sloths. That's why everything takes foreverrrrr šŸ¦„šŸ˜‚

LOL this actually explains so much 🤣

Hey OP, what industry were you working in before? Some sectors have special programs or resources that might help.
