Stuck in NYDOL pending status since April, 60+ hours on phone with no luck. Help!

I've been stuck in pending status with unemployment since April and I'm at my wits end. I've spent over 60 hours trying to get through to someone on the phone, but no luck. Has anyone else been dealing with this? Any tips on how to actually reach a human being at the unemployment office?

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds crazy but I got a response within a week after sending a fax lol

I'm in the exact same situation. Been pending since March. This is so demoralizing. How are we supposed to survive like this?

NYDOL website down - Can't file claims for 3 weeks. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble getting paid for the last few weeks. The website won't let me access it to file my claims. I've tried calling but the lines are always busy. Anyone else dealing with this? Any advice on how to get through to someone or fix the website issue?

I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. At this point, I'm considering hiring a lawyer. This can't be legal, right?

Careful with lawyers, they might take a big chunk of your backpay. Maybe try contacting your local representative first?

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the main line, try calling some of the other departments and ask to be transferred. Sometimes works for me!
