Keeping an eye on the Massachusetts Office of Labor and Workforce Development - If you are not satisfied with @MassLWD call @MassGov, your Mayor, or State Rep!

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

If you are “stuck” getting a response from Massachusetts Unemployment @MassLWD : Call the Governor’s office at 617-725-4005 (leave a message) or your state rep or senator. Seems to be working for a few of us lately! @MassGov @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

@NewsalesSr @MassLWD Sorry but @MassLWD account does not respond to Twitter. If
@MassGov does not respond — try your mayor, state rep or state senate local office. Call them all! Let us know if that works.

@hackermaderas @C2thaLo @blumo0n I've suggested for ESCALATION that people call the Governor hotline at 617-725-4005 (leave a message), mayor, or state rep or senator. That has helped some folks. Are you saying it took 4 months after that??? Damn. @MassLWD @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

@Goat401 @MassGov You won't get any response from the @MassLWD twitter account ... but I'd suggest calling Governor's hotline at 617-725-4005 (leave a message) or your state rep or senator. That has helped some folks. @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

@RightWingOfGod @marty_walsh Agreed, and the @MassLWD twitter account is "outbound PR" only. I've suggested that people calling @MassGov hotline at 617-725-4005 (leave a message), mayor (if big city), or state rep or senator. That has helped some folks. @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

@Mawleydee1 @MassLWD @MassGov @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline @RepStanley Try calling the Governor’s office at 617-725-4005 (leave a message) @MassGov - at least one person found that to be helpful. Can't hurt!

@MauraFlynn1 @MassLWD Hi Maura, @MassLWD does not respond on twitter. If no luck with #Massachusetts #Unemployment call the Governor’s office at 617-725-4005 (leave a message), mayor, or state rep or senator. It's been working for a few of us lately! Good luck! @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

@smith0624 @MassLWD Seems like @MassLWD is trying to figure it out. I'd give it 1 more day, then call Governor at 617-725-4005 (leave a message) or your state rep or senator. That might help. @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

@sensei_senpaii @MassLWD @MassGovernor @MassGov @MassHireMVCC To have a consumer website spew out "Program detail record not found... program: 3950" is inexcusable. To have it be the #Massachusetts #Unemployment @MassLWD, website is shameful. @MassGov - please help your people now. @BostonGlobe @bostonherald thanks @sensei_senpaii

@ABHNavyVet There is something crazy with the Extended Benefits (EB) at @MassLWD portal - I also found that my 13 weeks of EB "disappeared" from last week on the portal and were replaced with 4 weeks of PEUC. Just so you know you're not the only one! @MassGov @hotlineonline @BostonGlobe

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

Today: @MassLWD portal shows 4 weeks of "PEUC 1.0" benefits. Extended Benefits (EB) for 13 weeks disappeared. NO EXPLANATION. Does that mean I lost 9 weeks? Or gained 4 weeks ('cuz they will add EB later?). Will need to call. @MassGovernor @BostonGlobe @hotlineonline

[MassLWD_Watchdog @WatchdogMass]

Completed application on 12/27/20 for "Extended Benefits" (EB), and looks like @MassLWD system already has switched from PEUC to EB account. Not sure how the number of weeks is calculated (the site says "up to 20 weeks") since there is no information provided.
