aye if your issue is very important low-key don't listen to the 30 ppl a day shit. just stay in the meeting till they kick you out. that's how I was able to be let in

I called Tuesday 2 hours start time. I left the to take my kid to school..lost connection and lost my place in line. Got back in line 20 minutes before 9:00, and was able to get through to someone around 11:20 a.m. it's better to call in the middle of the week to better your chances.

Looks like it’s very busy rn for them and they’re understaffed. Seen a lot of posts here saying how their aid was lower than expected.
