5 weeks no UI payment - NYDOL claim status help needed
I've been waiting for 5 weeks and still haven't received any unemployment money. I'm trying to find out why my payments are delayed and if there's an issue with my claim. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat a few months ago. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It's a pain, but sometimes that's the only way to get answers.

I've been trying to call but can never get through. It's so frustrating!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 minutes on hold that way.

30 minutes? You got lucky! I was on hold for 3 hours last week ðŸ˜

5 weeks is way too long. There might be an issue with your claim. Check your online account for any pending items or requests for additional information. Sometimes they need more docs and don't tell you.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of frustration.

$20 seems steep just to make a phone call. Is it worth it?

For me it was. I was missing out on way more than $20 in benefits by not being able to reach anyone.

Have you checked if theres any new requirements or changes to the unemployment system? Sometimes they update stuff and don't tell anyone 🙄

Listen up, because I've been through this rodeo before. Here's what you need to do: • First, check your online account for any pending items or requests for info. They're sneaky and sometimes don't notify you. • If nothing's there, start calling. Yes, it sucks, but it's necessary. Call right when they open for the best chance. • If you can't get through, consider using a paid service like Claimyr (someone mentioned it earlier). It's $20 but can save you hours. • While you wait, make sure you're still certifying for benefits every week. Don't miss those! • Check your spam folder for emails from the unemployment office. • If all else fails, reach out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help push things through. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is broken, but you gotta play the game to win. Good luck!

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a typo in my social security number on the application. Double-check all your info!

Oh no, I hope that's not the case for me. I'll definitely check though, thanks!

The unemployment system is so broken. We need to organize and demand better service! Who's with me? ✊
