Apply online. You are not going to get through on the phone. And even going online it might take awhile since websites are crashing. When there are millions of people out of work, this is what is going to happen. Our society has chosen to use the unemployment system to pay people (instead of Europe, which is just paying people their wages as usual). Welcome to America.
