Unable to do it online for some reason. Tried calling 77 times yesterday to get a "all lines are busy, try back later". Called this morning at 7:59 and have been on hold for 20 minutues. If they know they are going to be overloaded, why not plant better? Hire more people or give the option of getting a call back?
On hold to apply for unemployment

Wow, just started ringing and got a message that said I'll be hold for 67 minutes (approx.). Fucking ridiculous. Just shows how inefficient bureacracy is.

Suck it, OP. Have you not been reading the news about the unprecedented events happening right now?
I hope you get your claim established. And after it's exhausted, I hope there is an extension granted. Because you're awful. No one is going to want to hire you and your narcissism.

Can't R2. I put in all info and it says "we can better serve you by calling......"

Yeah - what states aren't online at this point? I'd be surprised if most major states don't have online unemployment claims and verification.

I hate when you go online to do something and it tells you to call.
Their servers probably cant keep up with the demand right now. Most states unemployment divisions receive very little funding and are horribly run.

Yes, R10. I finally got through today. Took 2 1/2 hours.

If the stimulus bill goes through, unemployment will cover 100% of salary!

The home page for the unemployment office should have an option to print a form that you can mail in. It might actually take less time to mail it.

Unemployment is for little people.

Here in Florida, it took me about 90 minutes to apply on the website. The system must be overwhelmed, kept throwing me off or going back to the beginning and making me start again.
