This is absolutely ridiculous trying to get through on this line there’s a few guys have got to figure out something else
Sharla,
The Unemployment Office might be inundated with pending requests. Please visit the website to find the answers.
This is a ridiculous mess! It is late 2021. My 2020 claim between horrible communication is trying to fault me for documentation that has been sent US mail and thru the portal over and over. Get real. People are getting paid that never filed and the ones who have you try to confuse. Jumping thru hoops and still nothing!
Kim,
I can understand your situation. The best way to sort this is – Follow up regularly with the Claims Office.
Good luck, I’ve been trying to apply for benefits for more than 4 weeks & have still not got through. I have to file on the phone just because I travel for work into other state’s. Personally that’s ridiculous, I’m going to have to turn in ALL the usual paperwork either way. Basically filing on the phone is next to impossible so we have no income & can see no light ahead
I received my pandemic money as far as claim status goes but the money did not come have been trying to get ahold of someone to find out were it is you cant email you cant use virtual assist an cant reach the office how do you get this fixed
Timothy,
I suggest you try checking your claim status online.
Can’t get to it online. Says server error since 2/2.
I am unable to login. I am redirected to the kansas.okta.com site, which does not recognize my password. I requested a reset email and text, but got neither. I need to upload some forms by today, but the site has been down for maintenance since Saturday. The phone lines are unreachable as well.
I NEED HELP ON MY CLAIM. I APPLIED ONLINE FOR BENEFITS. I RECEIVED A REPLY THAT I NEEDED TO FILL OUT A FORM- WARN ACT AWARD-CLAIMANT. THIS FORM IS VERY CONFUSING. THERE ARE PARTS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FILL IT OUT. IT ALSO STATES I HAVE SEVEN (7) DAYS TO E-MAIL OR FAX THIS FORM BACK INTO THE OFFICE. I TRIED CALLING INTO SEVERAL LOCATIONS, BUT I COULD NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ANYONE. (LINE IS ALWAYS BUSY, EXCEPT AFTER HOURS.) I GOT ON THE WEBSITE, HOWEVER THERE IS NO TUTORAL ON HOW TO FILL THIS FORM OUT. WHAT IS THE WARN ACT AWARD? SHOULD I GO TO A LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE FOR HELP?
I’ve been trying to get my unemployment checks on Dec 7 I filed and everything was fine I still haven’t received any checks I am unable to reach anyone who can help me this is bullcrap last year I had to sell everything car and everything now I’m getting kicked out of my home because I can’t pay rent I got on line and they tell me I have the wrong address no way to get there and they want me to come in I guess they want me to walk 15 miles to fix the mess that a phone call could I’m calling call for action. Don’t know what to do
Robert,
Please consider the option of visiting an office in the vicinity if safe and feasible (you might be required to book an appointment prior to the website).
There is no point in going to a local Unemployment Office since they’ll either be unavailable or closed. Please try finding answers to your question on the department’s website.
Hello I would likt the help to file for unemployment. Really would like to know .
Cecilia,
Please let us know how we can help you.
How can I talk to a real person. We have set for hours waitng on hold and waiting for return calls with no help in sight. We sent in a name change and the benefit came back to the old name and we need to get all this strait.
Please help us
Chuck,
You might find answers to your question on their website. Please use this link to access your claim and also to find additional contact details – https://www.getkansasbenefits.gov/
I would prefer to walk into an unemployment office to apply for benefits. Is this possible? If so, what is the location. Also, I was laid off but never received official notification from my employer. What happens if I apply and they claim I quit?
Janice,
Most of the states encourage claimants to apply by phone/internet since its easy to apply for and manage your claims without any hassles. Please visit the website below https://www.getkansasbenefits.gov to find out office locations.
Every time I call the claims number it says there is a technical problem. But, when I file my weekly claim via internet it goes through. How can this get fixed? Also, I filed over the phone on 10-19-2015 and have not received anything in the mail stating I’m approved, is this normal? I have seen that my first claim for the week of Oct.24 th was my waiting week though. Well I get anything in the mail?
Please try alternate phone numbers available on the official website of the labor dept of your state.
Initial claim does take a longer time after which it flows smoothly.
is there an unemployment office in Pittsburgh Kansas where I can show my social security card
If you are looking at filing for UI benefits in Kansas, please us the contact details available on this page to file online/by phone.
You dont have to necessarily walk into an office.
