NYSDOL: When will payments resume after overpayment deduction?

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows when I'll get my payments after they take out the overpayment? I've been waiting for a while now and still haven't received anything. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any idea on the timeline?

lol welcome to the wonderful world of NYSDOL where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter 🤡

NYSDOL Backpay Delay: Any Tips to Speed Up Process or Reach a Rep?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to get my back pay sorted out with unemployment. I filed my claim a while ago but haven't received anything yet. Has anyone else dealt with this? Any advice on how to speed up the process or get in touch with someone who can help? I've been calling the NYSDOL but no luck so far.

I heard a rumor that they're clearing the backlog of claims from last year before processing new ones. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?

I dunno about that, but it wouldn't surprise me. The whole system seems pretty arbitrary tbh

guys i think i figured it out. if you press 2, then 1, then 4, then sing the national anthem backwards, you get through to a real person instantly. trust me, my cousins friends neighbor works for NYSDOL

Can't claim UI benefits - recorded message says to call. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble claiming my unemployment benefits. The recorded message told me I need to call since I couldn't claim on Sunday. Has anyone else run into this issue? What should I do next?

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!

NYSDOL Unemployment: Impossible to reach anyone, system hangs up. Faxed info but no confirmation. Any success stories?

I'm at my wits end trying to get through to NYS DOL Unemployment. The system keeps hanging up on me after waiting in the queue forever. I had to fax some info about my severance pay, but now I'm worried they never received it. Their systems seem so outdated. Anyone else dealing with this nightmare? Any tips on how to actually talk to a human there?

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the actual phone lines. Worth a shot!

I've heard rumors they're updating their system soon. Anyone know if thats true or just wishful thinking?

Heard that too, but I'll believe it when I see it. They've been saying that for years.

My cousin works in IT for the state (not DOL tho) and says its true. Supposed to roll out next year. Fingers crossed 🤞
