Giving them one star is giving them too much credit. I was laid off from my full time job and applied for benefits immediately after on April 1, 2020. My claim was denied because they didn't have my earnings. I immediately filed an appeal and sent proof of my earnings by sending my paystubs. It is now October 12 and still haven't got anyone from DETR to acknowledge this proof and the last person I spoke to said I needed to send them again even though she could see them. So now they need proof of my proof. I have spent countless hours calling trying to get through to speak to a claim representative which is almost impossible. The three times I have gotten through, they have hung up on me and offered no assistance. The last one named "Bee" hung up on me because it was five minutes after her shift. I have been waiting 6 months and she is snapping at me because it's 5 minutes past her shift and she has to go and then released the call.
I have reached out to Susie Lee who is my State Representative, the Attorney General, the Governor, the Mayor, and did not get help from anyone except for a response that said "wish there was something I could do".
The election is coming up in three weeks and I will be voting for anyone new and anyone currently elected will not get my vote regardless of Rep. or Dem. For the governor to impose lockdowns that put 30% of us out of work and to do NOTHING but defend DETR and not do anything to compensate for the flood of unemployment claims that came in is why I won't be voting for him in 2022.
