Contact your state representative!!!! I had the exact same issue and nothing worked until I reached out to my local assembly member. Their office contacted KeyBank directly and I had my statements within 48 hours. They have special channels to get through to these agencies.
This is actually good advice. Government reps can cut through red tape quick
I hadn't thought about this. Going to look up my rep now, thanks!
Wait, so y'all are getting your claims ACCEPTED?! 😂 I can't even get past that step. Been pending for 8 weeks now.
i work at a restaurant and our manager just told us about this today! it's definitely real but they're still setting up the application process. he said we should all start gathering our pre-pandemic pay stubs to show our hours/wages from before vs now.
I keep seeing different amounts. First I heard $2,500, then $2,750, now people are saying $3,100. Which is it?!
It was originally announced as $2,750 but they increased it to $3,100 in the final approval.
It's the worst when you call and they just tell you to "wait" with no actual info. Try asking these specific questions next time you get through: 1. Is my claim pending or denied? 2. Is there any specific documentation missing? 3. Is there an ID verification issue? 4. Can you escalate this to a supervisor due to the extended wait time? Don't let them rush you off the phone without answers.
Had the same problem and finally got it fixed using Claimyr.com - they wait on hold for you and then connect you when a real agent picks up. Talking to a human made all the difference - the agent saw my claim was stuck in review and pushed it through right then! Got backpay for all weeks the next day. After months of calling myself and never getting through, this was the best solution I found.
Not spam, just sharing what worked after I tried literally everything else. It's just a service that waits on hold for you. No magic, just saves you from the hours of hold time and disconnects. The actual unemployment agent is the one who fixes your claim.

whatever you do DO NOT try to file a new claim!! if your existing claim disappeared and you file a new one it creates a whole mess that takes months to untangle. call them first!!

•Omg thanks for this warning! I was actually considering trying to file again if I couldn't get it fixed 😬

Welcome to the wonderful world of NY unemployment where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 😅 Seriously though, your claim is probably still there in their system but just not visible to you. You need to call them.
