NYDOL Unemployment Claim Pending for Over a Month - What Am I Missing?

Hey everyone, I'm getting really frustrated with my unemployment claim. It's been over a month since I filed and it's still pending. I've sent in everything they asked for, including mailing a copy of my termination letter. I'm not sure what else they could need. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice on what I should do next?

I'm telling you, the whole system is rigged. They make it impossible on purpose so people just give up. It's all a scam 🤡

Take off the tinfoil hat, bro. It's just underfunded and overwhelmed, not a conspiracy 🙄

Wake up, sheeple! 🐑 The government doesn't care about us!

Unpopular opinion: maybe there's an issue with your claim? Not trying to be a jerk, but sometimes people make mistakes without realizing it.

0 coins

I guess it's possible, but I triple-checked everything before submitting. And they haven't told me about any issues 🤷‍♂️

Even if there is an issue, they should communicate that. The lack of transparency is the real problem here.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes payments get released without them telling you. Worth a shot!

NYDOL payment stuck on pending - how to actually reach someone?

Hey everyone, I've been waiting for my unemployment payment to be released for what feels like forever. I've tried calling the unemployment office but I can never get through. It's so frustrating just sitting here waiting for something to happen. Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice on how to actually get someone on the phone or speed up the process?

I heard they just updated their system last week. Maybe that's causing delays for everyone?

Classic government IT. One step forward, ten steps back 🤦‍♂️

Pro tip: if you're gonna try calling, use multiple phones at once. Increases your chances of getting through. I had my cell, work phone, and landline all going at the same time lol

When is NY unemployment 1099-G tax form available for 2025?

I need my 1099-G form for filing my taxes but can't figure out when it's available. This is my first time on NY unemployment and I want to file early. Does anyone know when the 1099-G becomes available and how to get it? Do they mail it or do I need to download it from somewhere? Thanks!

anybody know if they still doing that thing where u can request a duplicate if the original gets lost? my cousin said they stopped doing that last year but i dunno if thats true

0 coins

They haven't stopped that service. You can request a duplicate 1099-G through your online account or by calling the dedicated tax form helpline at 888-209-8124. Follow the prompts for tax form assistance.

0 coins

Thanks everyone for the helpful information! I'll check my online account after January 15th and make sure my address is updated in the system. If I don't see it by early February, I'll call or use that Claimyr service someone mentioned if I can't get through.

0 coins

Good plan. And if you have any issues understanding the form when you get it, feel free to come back here with questions. The 1099-G can be confusing the first time you deal with it, especially figuring out which box numbers correspond to what you need to enter on your tax forms.

NY unemployment backpay for missed weeks - anyone actually received it?

Has anyone actually gotten approved for backpay with NY unemployment? They're claiming I wasn't certifying when I ABSOLUTELY was every single Sunday without fail (this is so frustrating!!). I spoke with a rep who told me to send an email requesting the backpay, which I did right away, but it's been 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything. They owe me 4 weeks of payments but have only paid me for 2 so far. I'm getting worried they're just ignoring my request. What's the actual timeline for backpay decisions? Should I call again or is there a better way to follow up?

my cousin had this problem and she just gave up after trying for 2 months. so sad that the system is so broken

0 coins

I definitely won't give up. They owe me this money and I need it.

0 coins

That's EXACTLY what they want you to do!!! The system is DESIGNED to be confusing and difficult so people just give up. Don't let them win!

0 coins

let us know what happens plz! im curious if they actually fix it for you

0 coins

I'll definitely update once I get this resolved. Fingers crossed it won't take too long!
