I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing a game where the rules keep changing and no one tells you. Hang in there, OP!
Hey, just a heads up - be careful about sharing any personal info when you do get through to someone. There's been a lot of scams lately targeting people with unemployment issues.
Thanks for the warning. I'll definitely be cautious!
Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help expedite things with NYDOL.
This! My rep's office was super helpful when I was having issues. Def worth a shot
Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard that sometimes gets a faster response.
Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I finally got through last week after trying for a month. Here's what worked for me: 1. Call exactly at 8:00 AM when they open 2. If you get a busy signal, hang up and immediately redial 3. Repeat step 2 until you get into the queue 4. Once in the queue, DO NOT HANG UP no matter how long it takes It took me 3 hours of waiting, but I finally got my back pay sorted. Don't give up!
Thanks for the tips! I'll try this tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed ๐ค

Has anyone tried filing a complaint with the ombudsman? I've heard that can sometimes speed things up.

โขI tried that once. Took forever to get a response, but it did eventually help. YMMV
