VEC unemployment: How to get 4-digit PIN for first weekly claim after online signup?

I found a way to solve getting unemployment PIN number online, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y-3tCJAd9E

Ugh, the system is so broken. Why can't they just email us the PIN or let us create one online? It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without the long wait. 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 the link: https://claimyr.com

ugh, i feel your pain. the unemployment system is like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded while riding a unicycle. 🤪 keep at it tho, you'll get there eventually!

Pro tip: if you can't get thru on the main line, try calling your local unemployment office instead. Sometimes they can help with PIN issues too.

Have you tried checking your mail? Sometimes they send the PIN in a letter, even if you signed up online. Worth a shot!

If you’re looking for an alternative option to calling directly, Claimyr can be an appealing choice. They offer a service where they remain on hold for you until an agent becomes available and then connect you to the live representative. While the service costs $20, many users report it saves them a significant amount of time. However, some may find the cost a bit steep, especially during financially tough times. Additionally, even if you opt for Claimyr, remember to have all necessary documents ready when the connection is made to avoid any wasted effort. Always consider your personal financial situation and urgency of the claim when deciding if using such a service is right for you.

Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the VEC customer service number 2. Wait on hold (it might take a while) 3. When you get through, explain that you need a PIN for online filing 4. They'll verify your identity and set up the PIN for you 5. Write it down somewhere safe! Make sure you have your Social Security number and other personal info ready when you call. Good luck!

have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk. but seriously, the unemployment system is a joke. good luck getting through!

This is why I always tell people to sign up by phone instead of online. Saves so much hassle later on. Live and learn, I guess.

I had the same problem! You need to call the unemployment office directly to get your PIN. It's a pain, but it's the only way to get it set up if you registered online.

I'm in the same boat. Been trying to get my PIN for weeks now. The whole system is a clown show 🤡
