Tap tap, busy signal, tap, tap tap, busy signal, tap. All freakin' day. In total, I made well over 3,000 calls. Yes, really. I kept track. So at 13 minutes till 5, I got through again. Then was on hold for 2 1/2 hours. I was resigned to keeping the line open all night, when I heard a voice. She took my contact info and asked if it would be OK to call as early as 6 am. Sure, why not?

So I got up before 6. They never called. I really, really don't want to have multiple days of this... sigh.

Oh! And then today I get an email back (in response to one I wrote awhile back letting them know I didn't have a cid# and needed it to check the address they had for me on file.) They wrote back saying to write to them with my cid#, so they could verify my case. SMH!! I wrote to tell you that I don't have one!! That was the very POINT of my email! WTH?
I have no words that would not result in my being banned from PC ..

I think they certainly have to just auto extend the benefits of already approved cases... I wish each state would make a broad simple decision to not require this weekly stuff for the time being. It would allow those filing first claim to get quicker help too..

I hateeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that your having to deal with such stressful stuff
