I would get a hold of your state representative. Sometimes they are able to help as it’s something they can easily do with a letter or a phone call and it looks good to constituents.

This. I hit up all three on their state website pages, where there's a contact form. Someone got the ball rolling and I think I got replies back from both housemembers.

I’m sorry I said something to offend you and my grammar or sentence structure is not up to par. I was simply stating that I took the suggest and appreciate the feedback, im frustrated with unemployment and needed to vent. I wasn’t aware that it was going to warrant me being belittled. Thank you for your reply and courtesy.

Nowhere in that did you relate any appreciation at all. It felt really weird to direct that long list of troubles at my response, instead of, you know, expressing appreciation.

Well I apologize for venting in same post as the response to your suggestion and I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to try to help.

Yep i wrote all three of them this afternoon, so i'm originaly from alaska and have never had this problem, even when i was here in washington during covid and they had the special claim period, but during that time they just approved everyone and then went back and hit you with overpayment if you didn't qualify, its just ridiculous I worked 50+ hours a week for four years straight, paid into it and now that i need to use the program that I have paid for i can't get access, i have two minor children and a wife with parkinsons, i'm the sole bread winner this 8week of no income has tapped everything i have and is going to take me years to fix what ive had to sacrifice because they are too busy to care, really makes me and my family feel like we are insignificant in Washington's eyes...the way I look at it, its the government of Washington therefore the state of washington says I don't matter.

Um, OK? Maybe wait to see if your representatives actually make something happen for you before your next run-on sentence tirade. I'm sorry you didn't find my reply reassuring enough for you to wait more than a few non-business hours before your hyperbolic pity party. I thought it might be helpful.

I sent them a letter shortly after the original suggestion in no way did I imply I expected something to happen immediately. Why would you feel the need to bash someone who is already down on their luck? I asked for advice or a way to get in contact on a thread that I started, fully was not prepared for the harsh response from somebody. I was trying to be courteous and respond to you since you took the time to offer a suggestion.

No, you took my suggestion as an opportunity to vent. That's fine, but don't try to now make it into something that it wasn't because in hindsight you see that it might have been a poor choice.

Wasn’t a poor choice im not the one bashing people who down on luck, I’ve apologized and tried to be respectful even though I have no reason to be to you as I did nothing wrong. You are a very salty bitch who needs to learn some manners. So if you will excuse me I’m sorry for taking your time I’m sure your busy making fun of less fortunate , knocking wheel chairs over, and drowning your misery with pain killers and alcohol cause only a lonely sad angry bitch would keep pushing after someone tried apologizing numerous different times.
