Contact your local councilman or state Senator. I got my unemployment settled in 24 hours after taking to Sen Sarbane’s office.

Seconding this, my state representative helped push my case through with the DOL when I couldn't get ahold of them

And I'll encourage limited expectations. I had to reach out to my council person during the pandemic about unemployment. I called multiple times, and emailed. They got back to me around 3-4 months later asking if it was cleared up. It wasn't, I was just unable to move forward and was frustrated after spending hours on it.

Just don't want OP to place all his eggs in this basket, some of our council people District 7 can be downright irresponsive, incompetent or both.

I’m in the same boat is this. While I appreciate the advice and support. I dealt with unemployment back when the lockdown occurred. I got next to no help by messaging councilman. That is why this whole thing is demoralizing.

F the City Council, reach out to the state reps. https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/mdmanual/07leg/html/gacobcit.html

Also remember that they were super overwhelmed in early COVID.

Don't be demoralized into inaction. Email everyone in your district every single day until they help.

Nothing has changed, that is why I’m demoralized. I know they were overwhelmed because of covid. I dealt with it back then.

The way things are now. It’s like nothing has changed. I can show you my emails. I have already contacted anybody and everybody and they just give me the run around and say they’ll look into it or they open up a claim or tell me I already have one open.

Nothing has changed. It’s ridiculous

I contact unemployment and get told the lines are busy after being on hold and automatically get hung up on

It’s depressing and demoralizing
