Need info on existing UI claim - what to expect when I finally reach someone?
Hey everyone, I'm calling to get some info about my existing unemployment claim. Anyone else in the same boat? What should I expect when I finally get through to someone?

Ugh, good luck getting through to anyone. I've been trying for weeks! š¤ When did you file your claim? And what was your last job?

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold last week.

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ

ā¢Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

ā¢100% legit. I was skeptical too, but it saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny.

ā¢I get it, but think about how much time you waste on hold. For me, it was totally worth it.

Here's what you need to know when you finally get through: ā¢ Have your claim number ready ā¢ Know your last day of work and reason for unemployment ā¢ Be prepared to verify your identity ā¢ Have a list of places you've applied to (they might ask) ā¢ Stay calm and polite (I know it's hard, but it helps) Good luck!

ā¢Great advice. I'd add: write down the name of who you talk to. It helps if you need to call back.

Anyone else feel like were living in a kafka novel? This whole unemployment system is a maze with no exit šµāš«
