The real question is how tf do you even get someone on the phone at ny unemployment 🤡 i swear they have like 2 people working the phones for the entire state
wait whut? for real? how does that even work?
You sign up on claimyr.com, they call unemployment and wait on hold, then when a person answers they connect the call to your phone. Saved me literally hours of my life.
Been dealing w/ NY unemployment for way too long. Here's what works: 1) You CAN backdate missed certifications within 30 days 2) You CANNOT do this online - must be done by phone 3) Visiting sick family absolutely counts as good cause 4) Document everything - when he called, who he spoke to 5) Be nice to the reps! They deal with angry people all day If your son can't get through on the phone (which is likely), I recommend using claimyr.com - it's the only thing that worked for me after days of trying. They wait on hold and then connect you when a real person answers.
Pro tip: call right when they open at 8am. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold that way. They told me my refund was scheduled for next week. Worth trying if you're desperate!
hmm I've been burned by so many of these 'services' before... what makes this Claimyr thing different? anyone with actual experience?
I was super skeptical too but it actually worked for me. It's just an automated system that waits on hold and then calls you when a person answers. Saved me from losing my mind listening to that awful hold music for hours.
I tried it yesterday and it worked exactly as advertised. Got connected to an agent who fixed my issue that's been pending for months. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast.
Make sure you didnt get an email saying you need to recertify or submit additional documentation. They love to randomly require that stuff and not tell you until your payment is late.
Anybody else notice that everytime there's a holiday weekend the payments get all messed up the following week? Happens every single time I swear.
Omg yes!! I've been collecting since September and every single holiday creates some kind of issue. The system is so outdated.
Fun fact: I worked in a call center before and I can tell you the WORST times to call are mid-morning and lunch time. Try calling at 8:01am exactly when they open or 30 min before closing. Those are your best shots.
Can confirm this works! I got through at 7:58am somehow even though they're supposed to open at 8
Anyone talking about using claimyr.com - it actually works? Been fighting with identity verification for 9 weeks now and about to lose my apartment...
worked for me too after trying to call for weeks myself with no luck. got all my backpay
its worth trying. nothing else worked for me and i was able to talk to someone who actually helped within a day

Tried calling the IRS 47 times this week. FORTY SEVEN. Either busy signal or it hangs up after saying high call volume. This country is broken.
