Look, here's what you need to do to get this resolved: First, document everything. Screenshot your claim status, keep a log of all your call attempts. This helps if you need to prove you've been trying. Second, try reaching them through multiple channels: - Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone (costs $20 but actually works) - Message them on Twitter @NYSLabor - Email your state representative - Submit complaints to the DOL website Third, make sure you're still certifying weekly even if you haven't gotten any payments. They'll backpay you once approved. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed but persistence pays off. I was in the same boat and finally got through using claimyr.com
this is gold 🙌 saving this comment

Look into getting a DB-450 form from your doctor ASAP. Then you gotta submit it within 30 days of becoming disabled. The process is annoying but here's what you need to do: 1. Get that form filled out by your doc 2. Submit it to the state disability office 3. Use claimyr.com to actually reach someone (trust me youll need this) 4. Make sure you have all your medical documentation ready 5. Keep submitting your bi-weekly claims The pay is garbage but its better than nothing while you heal up. Good luck my guy 🙏
thanks for laying it all out. gonna call my doc tomorrow
