Unable to get in touch with ANYBODY at the TN Department of Unemployment. Held on the line for “several” minutes before a voice indicated I would have to call back later!!
A) I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble reaching the TN Department of Unemployment. I know how frustrating it can be when you need help and can’t get through to anyone.
I did some research and found some information that might be useful for you. According to the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, you can track your unemployment claim online by logging into your account at Jobs4TN.gov. You can also check the status of your claim, certify weekly, request a replacement card, report fraud, and more on their website
If you prefer to speak to someone on the phone, you can call the Help Desk at (844) 224-5818 (Option 1) for assistance with your unemployment claim or for questions about your unemployment benefits. The Help Desk is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Central time)
You can also submit a ticket to the Help Desk online by clicking here. You will need to provide some information about yourself and your claim, such as your name, phone number, last four digits of your Social Security number, date of birth, mailing address, last place of work, last date of work, and last week you certified on Jobs4TN.gov. You can also attach any documents that might be relevant to your issue
Another option is to use the live chat feature on the TN.gov/workforce or Jobs4TN.gov websites. You can find a “Help” bubble in the right corner of the webpages that will allow you to access the Department’s online chat Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Central time)
If you have an account at Jobs4TN.gov, you can also send an email to the Message Center on your account and ask questions about your unemployment benefits
Finally, you can also visit or contact an American Job Center near you for help with your unemployment claim. You can find a list of locations and contact information on the Department’s website here.
I hope this information helps you get in touch with the TN Department of Unemployment and resolve your issue. I wish you all the best in your job search and future endeavors.
I am a homeless man with no where to go no money no credit card I need my unemployment benefits. SO I have all ready made a police report so now what cuz it’s been on file
I’m sorry to hear that you are homeless and struggling financially. It can be a very difficult situation to be in. There are a few things you can do to try to get your unemployment benefits.
First, make sure that you have filed a claim with your state’s unemployment office. You can do this online or by phone. You will need to provide some personal information, such as your Social Security number and date of birth, as well as information about your last job.
Once you have filed a claim, you will need to certify every week that you are still unemployed and looking for work. You can do this online or by phone. If you do not certify, your benefits may be stopped.
If you have already filed a police report, that is a good first step. It is important to document your situation so that you have proof of your homelessness. You may also want to contact your local homeless shelter or social services agency for assistance. They may be able to help you with food, shelter, and other resources.
