Have you  memorized the Tennessee Unemployment Insurance Claims hot line number while trying to renew your unemployment benefits. You are not alone.

Are you tired of hearing the "Thank you for calling the Tennessee unemployment claims filing center. We’re sorry, we are unable to take your call at the present time due to extremely high call volume …"

[ad]

The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, said the department is aware of the difficulty people are having in reaching the claims filing center due to call volume at all five call centers and they  don’t have enough phone lines or people to handle the volume of calls.
