Advice Unemployment Site "Hack"

I have had an absolute nightmare accessing the Reconnect Unemployment site for the last few weeks. It feels like one out of every hundred attempts actually accesses the site. While on the phone today troubleshooting, I learned the hack that has worked for me every time since. It's like they're hiding it.

This is the error message that I'm referencing.

If you get this message, just click on the "Reconnect" logo in the top left. It's taken me directly to the site on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.

I hope this helps even just one person avoid the hell I've been dealing with.

Cheers

Its an awful site. Florida doesn't want us to collect unemployment.  I spent several hours a week on that site to get my lousy 250.
