I never seem to be able to get hold of anybody about my claim.

A) I understand that trying to reach someone about your unemployment claim can be frustrating. Due to high demand, unemployment offices may be experiencing longer wait times and it can be difficult to get through on the phone.

Here are a few other options that may help you get in touch with someone about your claim:

1. Check the website of your state’s Department of Labor for information about how to contact their unemployment office. They may have an email or online form that you can use to submit a request for information.
2. Try calling the unemployment office at a different time of day, as the wait times may be shorter at certain times.
3. If you have access to the internet, you may be able to find information about your claim and resolve any issues through your state’s unemployment insurance website.

I hope these suggestions are helpful and that you are able to get the information you need about your unemployment claim.
