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?

I'm sorry you're going through this too. It really is awful. Hang in there, hopefully we'll both get some resolution soon.

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!

I heard theres a new law coming that's supposed to streamline the whole unemployment process. Anyone know when that's supposed to take effect?

I think it's supposed to be implemented next quarter, but who knows with how slow the government moves 🐌

I swear, dealing with NYDOL is like playing whack-a-mole. Fix one problem, another pops up. Hang in there, OP. We're all in the same leaky boat 🚣‍♀️

Leaky boat is right. More like the Titanic at this point 🚢🧊

Missed certifying for NYDOL unemployment - How to fix?

Hey everyone, I need some help. I missed certifying for a few weeks of unemployment and I'm not sure what to do. I haven't had any changes in my employment status, but I'm worried about losing those benefits. Has anyone been through this before? What's the best way to handle missed certifications with NYDOL?

Yall ever notice how the NYDOL website always seems to be down for maintenance when you need it most? 🤔 It's like they're trolling us at this point lmao
