New York Unemployment keeps rejecting my SSN and PIN after losing job during maternity leave

Lost my job while on maternity leave and now dealing with unemployment issues. Got letters late in the mail about claiming benefits. System won't verify my SSN and PIN code. Called over 20 times, getting hung up on or redirected everywhere. Waited 2 hours to talk to someone who said I had the wrong department. Local offices keep sending me in circles. Now they're saying I have to wait because I have covid, but nobody can tell me if I'll be penalized for late claim. The whole system is broken and nobody is actually helping.
