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.
This feels deliberate tbh. Election year and they're making it harder to collect benefits. 🤔

•Not everything is a conspiracy. IT systems break, especially government ones running on outdated tech.
Look at the pattern tho. Website issues always happen right when ppl need to certify. Just saying ðŸ§

This may sound strange but try logging in from a different device or browser. My account was stuck in limbo and wouldn't process payments when I used Chrome, but when I switched to Firefox suddenly everything worked and payments processed within days. Their website has weird compatibility issues.

honestly i gave up on calling and just went to the physical unemployment office in person. waited 3 hours but actually got someone to look at my account and fix the issue. if you're near one of their offices its worth a shot.
wait they have physical offices you can go to?? where are they located?

•They're called New York State Career Centers. There's locations in each borough and throughout the state. Google "NYS Career Center near me" - they can help with unemployment issues in person.

hey serious question - did u get an email or anything warning you that ur benefits were about to run out? i'm worried the same thing's gonna happen to me soon and wanna be prepared
thats MESSED UP. they should at least give people a heads up so you can prepare! the whole system is garbage
If you log into your account and go to payment history, you can see how many effective days you have left. I check mine regularly so I know when it's getting low.

After my regular unemployment ran out, I found the best thing was to call and talk directly to someone at unemployment. They actually told me about some training programs that could extend benefits in certain cases. But it was IMPOSSIBLE to get through on the phone until I found out about claimyr.com - they got me connected to an agent in like 30 mins after I'd been trying for weeks. Best decision I made and talking to that agent helped me figure out my next steps.
hmm I've been burned by so many of these 'services' before... what makes this different?

•It's not like those scammy services that claim to get you more benefits or whatever. They literally just call the unemployment office repeatedly for you and then connect you when they get through. Saved me hours of frustration.
Miranda Singer
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.

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.

•Wait hold up - does this actually work or is it just the usual BS?

•Yeah it worked for me! I was skeptical too but I was desperate. Got a callback with an agent in about 1.5 hours. Best money I ever spent to get my benefits flowing again.
