EdF 323 Posted May 31, 2023 Is anyone else here having a problem collecting unemployment benefits from this state? I filed my claim on 4/23. I have not received a single dollar and I can't get a hold of anyone at the Department of Labor to find out what's going on. I have reached out to my assembly reps and state senator as well as the governor's office. I'm told "We put your request into the system, it might take a few weeks to get a response." When I call any UE office, I answer a bunch of voice prompts and get to a recorded message that says, "Call back another day." I'm interested in trying to organize a group to hound our representatives and the governor's office until we get resolutions. Let's put something together and see if we can make some change in this state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bennj 215 Posted June 1, 2023 COVID's fault. Besides, what's the rush, I waited almost 6 months for a PTC, you've only been waiting since 4/23 for UE benefits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtyDigz 1,793 Posted June 2, 2023 I've heard that you need to call at exactly 07:30 AM on weekdays to have any chance of reaching a live rep or scheduling a call back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
