Just called them this morning, they said all 1099-Gs will be available online by January 31st at the latest. If you need it earlier you gotta contact them directly but good luck getting through on the phone without something like claimyr.com
typical ny unemployment making us wait till the last possible second 🤡

DETAILED GUIDE TO REACHING NY UNEMPLOYMENT: After months of trying everything, here's what actually works: 1. Regular unemployment line (888-209-8124) is essentially useless during peak hours 2. Avoid calling Mondays or Tuesdays - absolute worst days 3. Your best options are: - Use claimyr.com (costs $20 but they handle the calling/waiting) - Contact your state representative's office - Try calling at exactly 7:58 AM - Use the callback feature if available The automated system is designed to frustrate you. Don't give up. If you need immediate help, honestly just use claimyr.com - it's worth the money if your benefits are stuck.

EVERYONE HAVING THIS ISSUE: Call the automated phone line 888-581-5812 to certify if website isn't working. Press 9 to skip the intro. Works just as good as the website and usually more reliable tbh
the real MVP right here 💯
phone line was busy for me tried 6 times already
