Guys we need to talk about how broken this system is. Why are they suddenly doing "random" checks AFTER approving people and paying benefits for months?? The NY unemployment system is a complete disaster. I've been dealing with them for so long and every month there's some new hurdle. It's exhausting. 😫
It's by design. They make it difficult so people give up. They don't want to pay benefits.
Facts. The system is designed to frustrate people into giving up their rightful benefits.
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.
there's a backdoor number that sometimes works to get to a real person faster: [redacted for privacy] - press 1, then 3, then 2, then wait without pressing anything else
omg this EXACT thing happened to me!! i was able to fix it by going to the office in person. bring all the paperwork you have and be prepared to wait ALL day but at least you'll get it fixed
Which office did you go to? I thought they were all closed to the public still
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.
😂 rookie numbers. I called 112 times over 2 weeks before I gave up and used claimyr.com
lmaooo that bad huh? might have to try that service then cuz this is ridiculous
