Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment system is a total mess right now. I spent weeks trying to get through to someone. It's like they don't want us to actually get the benefits we're entitled to. 🤬

Hey, 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through or at least get you in touch with the right person at the unemployment office.

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. I mean like, be dialing at 7:59:59 AM. It's still a pain, but your chances are way better of getting through.

I'm in the same boat, OP. It's so frustrating. I've been trying to fix an issue with my claim for over a month now. The system is completely broken. 😫

Okay, here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Write down every time you try to call, every error message you get, everything. 2. Keep trying the phone, but also use their online contact form if they have one. Sometimes you can get a response that way. 3. Reach out to your state representative AND your state senator. Send them a detailed email explaining your situation. 4. If you're really desperate, consider using a paid service like the one mentioned above. It sucks to have to pay, but sometimes it's worth it to get things moving. 5. Check if there are any in-person unemployment offices open. Some states are reopening them. 6. Join Facebook groups or other online communities for unemployment in your state. Sometimes people share insider tips or direct contact info for helpful employees. 7. If all else fails, consider reaching out to local media. Sometimes a call from a reporter can magically fix things. Hang in there, OP. The system is a mess, but persistence usually pays off eventually.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of government efficiency 🤡 good luck OP, you're gonna need it
