Ridiculous! As others have pointed out here, it is impossible to reach anyone at this number. I've followed all the prompts and keep getting hung up on. Now I have to waste gas driving to your location just to get a simple answer I could have received over the phone.

I have been calling since 8am this morning to ask a question about a requested doc, and I have pressed all of the prompts that I needed to press to get to a live person. After finally getting to the hold music (which plays for about 2 min), it hangs up. I literally just went through this 4 times just now. This is absolutely ridiculous. WHY CAN'T I REACH ANYONE AT THIS PLACE?????

The wait is ridiculous! It’s only like 4 customers here, multiple workers and they have you wait. I’ve been sitting over an hour waiting for an eBt card. So frustrating
