TWC Unemployment Application Issues: Trouble Submitting, Need Advice
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment application. I've been trying to submit it for a while now, but I keep running into issues. Has anyone else had problems putting in their application recently? It's really frustrating and I could use some advice on how to get this sorted out. I'm worried about missing out on benefits because of these technical problems.

Claimyr seems like a game-changer given the current state of EDD. Many people find success using their services due to automated calling and direct connection when an agent is available. However, at $20 a call, it might not be feasible for everyone, especially if multiple attempts are needed. While it's great to have solutions like Claimyr, it's essential to remember that these services exist because of systemic issues that our public systems should address. Balancing the use of such tools with continued advocacy for better public service is crucial to prevent reliance on paid solutions for basic rights.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes that helps with website glitches. Also, try using a different browser or device if possible. Good luck!

Update: I finally got through on the phone after trying that claimyr service someone mentioned. The rep was actually super helpful and got my application submitted. Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

I didn't have to wait at all! The service called and waited on hold for me, then connected me when an agent picked up. It was pretty sweet.

Ugh, I feel your pain. The EDD website is a total nightmare rn. I've been trying to update my claim for weeks and keep getting error messages. It's like they don't want us to get our money ๐

It's unbelievable how outdated and ineffective the system is. You'd think with all the complaints they'd have a better IT team working on it.

Guys I just had a brilliant idea: what if we all pool our money and buy EDD? We can't do worse than the current management, right? ๐ค๐ก

Have you tried contacting your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through when you're having issues with EDD. Worth a shot!

Pro tip: try submitting your application late at night or early in the morning. The website tends to be less buggy when there's less traffic. Worked for me!

Guys, I think I figured out the problem. The EDD website is actually a sophisticated AI designed to test our patience and resilience. If we can navigate it successfully, we unlock the secret level where the benefits are stored. ๐น๏ธ๐ค

I've been in the same boat for months. It's a total clown show ๐คก I've given up on trying to file online and just mail everything in now. Takes forever, but at least it gets done.

It can take a few weeks, but at least you know it's been received. Just make sure to send it certified mail so you have proof!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with EDD for the past year: 1. Persistence is key. Don't give up, keep trying different methods. 2. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts, errors, and communications. 3. Use multiple channels: online, phone, mail, and even fax if you have to. 4. Reach out to your local unemployment office directly if possible. 5. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for real-time updates and tips. 6. Be prepared to wait. The system is overwhelmed, so patience is crucial. 7. Double-check all your information before submitting. Small errors can cause big delays. 8. If all else fails, consider seeking help from a legal aid organization specializing in unemployment issues. Remember, you're not alone in this struggle. Stay strong and keep fighting for your benefits!

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/V-IMvH88P1U
