New York Unemployment Phone Number Update Not Working - Old Number Still Used for Verification

Changed my phone number in the system but verification texts still going to my old phone. Updated it online but verification system hasnt caught up. Been trying to reach them at 8am sharp for days now calling over and over but cant get through. Really need to fix this to access my account.

Send them a message through the secure message center about this. Sometimes they actually respond within a few days (worked for me

Here's what worked for me - call exactly at 8am, press 2, then 1, then wait for the menu to finish COMPLETELY before pressing 9. If you press 9 too early it sends you to a dead end. Also try wednesday mornings, they seem to have more staff then. If that doesnt work use claimyr.com - saved me hours of frustration

New York Unemployment: Regular benefits exhausted after 26 weeks - any extensions available?

My regular unemployment benefits just ran out after 26 weeks. The job market is really tough right now with all these layoffs. Anyone know if theres any kind of extension available? Also noticed something weird - the unemployment appeals commissioner was looking at my LinkedIn profile? Not hiding anything but its kinda creepy tbh.
