TWC PIN Reset Nightmare: How to Actually Talk to a Human?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble resetting my PIN for unemployment. I tried calling but got stuck in an automated system. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any tips on how to actually talk to a real person?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The automated system is a nightmare. I've been trying to reset my PIN for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to get through!

I actually found a way to get through! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/V-IMvH88P1U

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I get the skepticism, but honestly, after wasting hours trying to get through, it was worth it for me. Saved me so much time and frustration.

Have you tried the online portal? Sometimes you can reset your PIN there without having to call.

Pro tip: if you press 0 repeatedly during the automated message, sometimes it'll transfer you to a human. Doesn't always work but worth a shot!

Here's what worked for me to reset my PIN: 1. Call right when they open (usually 8 AM) 2. Choose the option for 'technical difficulties' instead of 'PIN reset' 3. When you get a person, explain your situation 4. Be super polite (they deal with angry people all day) 5. If they can't help, ask to be transferred to a supervisor It took a few tries, but I finally got it done. Good luck!

Anyone else think its ridiculous that we have to jump through so many hoops just to reset a PIN? The whole unemployment system needs an overhaul tbh

For real. In 2023, this should all be doable online without any hassle.
