THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! 'In progress' is just their way of saying 'we'll get to you when we feel like it.' I've been waiting 5 weeks for my claim to move past this stupid status. Meanwhile they expect us to jump through hoops with job searches and weekly certifications while they take their sweet time.
From an economic perspective, structural unemployment is considered the most serious because it represents permanent changes in the labor market rather than temporary fluctuations. It typically lasts longer and requires more intervention to resolve. NYS Department of Labor recognizes this and has specific programs for structurally unemployed workers including Trade Adjustment Assistance if your job loss was trade-related.
This whole system is such a mess honestly. Whether it's state or federal funded doesn't matter when you can't even get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to get basic questions answered. I've been dealing with an overpayment notice for months and still don't understand how they calculated it.

I've been trying to call NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my own denial but can never get through! The phone system is impossible. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a human there?

•I was having the same problem until someone told me about claimyr.com - it's a service that calls NYS Department of Labor for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. I used it last week and finally got to speak with someone about my adjudication issue. There's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of frustrating busy signals.
