How can I speak to a live person at Nevada Unemployment for my unemployment?

There are two methods to reach a live person:

  • 1.) by calling manually over and over again, get on a long hold, and then hope the call doesn't drop -- and I'll show you how to do that,
  • 2.) use a calling tool that dials for you, stays on hold, and forwards a call to your phone number when an agent is on the line. (RECOMMENDED)

If you've experienced the frustration of long hold times with Nevada Unemployment, you might find a similar situation when requesting your IRS Tax Return Transcript; fortunately, the same calling tool can assist with both services.

Option 1 (SLOW): call manually - time to a human rep = 2+ hours.

Nevada Unemployment hours of operation

Nevada Unemployment is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.

What is the best time to call DETR about my unemployment?

Do not call during these times (unless you are using Claimyr, which then you can order a callback 24/7 Monday - Sunday):

  • 👎 Monday mornings
  • 👎 After 5 pm on any day
  • 👎 Friday afternoons (as you'll likely not solve your issue until the following week)

But again, if you are using Claimyr's automated callback tool, then you will be able to place a call literally anytime during the day and get a callback soon after.

The best time to call Nevada Unemployment is Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. ⚠️WARNING⚠️: please beware that you often need to dedicate an entire day to dialing over and over just to get on hold. Also, DETR is notorious for dropping calls even when you finally do get on hold! So if you decide to start calling mid-week, due to excessive call volume, you may not be able to reach an agent until the following week or longer.

If you don't consider calling Nevada Unemployment regarding your unemployment a full-time profession, consider using a calling tool such as Claimyr to guarantee a callback with an agent on the line with zero hold time.
