I have trying to call every day to check on my claim status but I cannot get through the calls it keep saying there is too many caller and keep hang up on me.
I have kids and need to put food on table until I find a job. It says my claim has been pended and list 3 numbers for me to call but every time I call I can not get through it says there are too many callers at this time. I have resubmitted a new claim, how do I know if I am approved? It is still showing the pended claim.
Please Help!!! My claim is approved but I cannot submit very first bi-weekly claim on internet — since week starts on Sunday, and my very last work day was Monday!!!
It was filed properly, I did not lie about that Monday. So system requests — step by step — to enter that I worked this week. I calculated amount I probably earned on that Monday, and 8 hours, and I put zeros for the second week.
I put that Monday day. Cannot reach anyone on the phone, and cannot find the location for the Mercer county — to talk to someone in person!!! Please recheck the procedure available on the official website of the labor dept in your state and validate. System has my approved application already. When I follow online bi-weekly claim form — following step by step — I cannot proceed. Steps are easy and could not be avoided.
It gives instructions every time it does not like what I entered. But at the end it asks for number of hours and money received for the second week — and zeros are not accepted.
This is it, dead end. I guess the only solution is to go to the real office and talk to real people. Maybe they could do that manually somehow. Wish me luck :. Sure Elena.
