the ny unemployment system is literally designed to be confusing so people give up 🤮 they WANT you to stop trying so they don't have to pay benefits. KEEP TRYING and don't let them win!
The government dosent care about us, you'll probably be waiting another month tbh. Its all so broken. Nobody answers the phones because they dont want to help us.
Bro who hurt you 😂 But for real though, the system is definitely broken
Try claimyr.com - it was the only thing that worked for me after weeks of trying to get thru. They wait on hold and then call you when they get a human. Talking to an agent fixed my issue in like 10 minutes after it had been stuck for weeks.
Contact your state representative! I was getting nowhere with unemployment until I reached out to my assemblyman's office. They have special liaisons who can escalate these cases. Google '[your county] NY state assembly representative' to find yours.
That's a great idea I hadn't thought of. Will definitely try this if I can't get through on the phone.
This works! My state senator's office fixed my issue in 2 weeks after I spent months trying on my own.
If you absolutely need to get through right now, check out claimyr.com - it costs money but it's the only thing that worked for me last time this happened. they call the office for you and connect you with an agent when they get through.
It's not a hack, it's just a service that calls and waits on hold for you. I was desperate after not getting through for 2 weeks. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast
So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my cousin told me about this. It actually worked and saved my sanity.
Not everything is a conspiracy. IT systems break, especially government ones running on outdated tech.

Are you SURE you've been certifying every week? Even if you miss one week of certification it can mess up your whole claim. They don't make it clear but you have to keep certifying even if you aren't getting paid.

•Yes, I've been religious about certifying every single week. Haven't missed one.

I'm dealing with the exact same thing! Applied in May 2023, claim shows payable since July, but not a single cent has hit my account. I've called over 50 times. NY unemployment is a joke.
