Probably unpopular opinion, but just fill it out again. Yes, the system is broken. Yes, it's annoying. But fighting it will take 10x longer than just resubmitting the form. Pick your battles. I spent weeks arguing with them about a duplicate request last year before finally giving in and just doing it again. Form took 15 minutes, arguing took weeks.

•This is the most practical advice here. The system sucks but sometimes you just gotta play along to get it over with.

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative about this? I emailed mine last week and surprisingly got a response. They said they'd look into it and actually followed up asking for my info to check my specific case.
This is actually really good advice. State reps can often cut through red tape faster than we can on our own.
Ezra Beard
•Yeah it was way more helpful than I expected! They have contacts at these agencies that can actually get answers.
anyone else get a letter saying they reviewed your case but then no money? I got a letter 3 weeks ago saying they completed their review of my account for the unemployment exclusion but still no deposit...
Glad its not just me. Wonder how long after the letter the actual money comes...
I got my deposit exactly 16 days after that letter, so hang in there!

u need to hop on this FAST. ny unemployment fraud is outta control rn. sooo many people getting hit with this. def contact the ftc at identitytheft.gov to start a case file - they can help with the steps
Harold Oh
Yoooo Im dealing with same thing! Get the Unemployment fraud paperwork in ASAP - print everything, take screenshots of all correspondence. Also - use claimyr.com to get through to an agent on the phone. I waited for hours trying to call myself, paid for their service and got through in like 20 min. Worth every penny to get my case moving.

•does claimyr actually work? might need it for my own issue
Harold Oh
•Yep worked great for me. They call on your behalf and then connect you when they get someone. SO much better than waiting on hold forever.

quick question - are u supposed to send originals or copies? i sent originals and now im freaking out that was wrong
Beth Ford
•oh god... guess im screwed then ðŸ˜
Try calling them ASAP to see if you can get them back. I had luck getting through with claimyr.com when I had a similar panic moment

W2s only worked for me but if you're really anxious about it you could just throw in a couple pay stubs from december or sumthin. The whole process sucks but eventually they sort it out.
Emma Wilson
ur gonna laugh but try sending them a fax. seriously. the old school methods sometimes work better cuz nobody uses them anymore. my brother got his issue fixed in a week after faxing them a letter about his situation

I've been in your exact situation. It's so frustrating! I gave up on calling after 3 weeks of failed attempts and used claimyr.com instead. Worth every penny when I got my $6,400 in backpay unfrozen. Don't give up - they're counting on you to just walk away from money that's rightfully yours.

•Was the backpay automatic once you resolved the issue?

•Yep! Once they fixed whatever the flag was on my account, all the weeks I had been certifying for showed up as paid about 3 days later. Such a relief.
