TWC PIN reset not working online - need help filing unemployment claim ASAP!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I forgot my PIN for filing an unemployment claim and the online reset isn't working. Has anyone else run into this? Any tips on how to get it sorted out quickly? I really need to file my claim and I'm starting to get worried.

Ugh, been there done that. The online system is a joke sometimes. Your best bet is to call them directly. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while tho. Make sure you have your SSN and any other info they might need handy.

I found a method to 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/V-IMvH88P1U

20 bucks? That's steep. But I guess if it saves hours of frustration...

I was skeptical at first too, but it really did work for me. Saved me a ton of time and stress. Worth every penny imho.

How long did it take for them to get someone on the line?

It took about an hour and a half, but I didn't have to sit there listening to hold music. They just called me when an agent was ready.

Have you tried resetting your PIN through the automated phone system? Sometimes that works when the website is being finicky.

This is why we need a better system. Its ridiculous that people cant access there own accounts. The whole unemployment process is broken af 🤬

Maybe if they spent less on fancy offices and more on IT...

Here's what worked for me: 1. Call the main unemployment number 2. Choose the option for PIN issues 3. Have your SSN ready 4. Be patient (took me about 45 mins on hold) 5. Explain the situation calmly 6. They'll verify your identity 7. New PIN will be set up Hope this helps! Good luck!

Protip: Document EVERYTHING. Write down who you talk to, when, and what they say. It'll save you headaches later if there are any issues.
