Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their system last month, everything's been even more messed up? 🙄
Yep, classic government IT project. Spend millions to make things worse 🤦♂️

have u tried going to the unemployment office in person? sometimes thats the only way to get answers
I didn't even know that was an option. Do they take walk-ins?
6M
depends on ur area. call ahead or check their website. but yeah, face-to-face can work wonders

This is why we need UBI. The current system is a joke and leaves people hanging when they need help the most. 🤬
Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul.

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? I've heard some people have luck getting responses on Twitter.
I tried that once. They just sent me a link to the FAQ page 🙄

Hang in there, OP! I know it's tough but you'll get through this. Don't forget to take care of yourself while dealing with all this stress. ❤️
lol welcome to bureaucracy hell. grab a ticket and enjoy ur stay 🎟️🔥
🤣🤣🤣 ain't that the truth

Hey OP, quick question - have you checked if there's any chance you might have done any remote work or training that day? Sometimes that counts as work even if you don't remember it as a full workday.
I hadn't thought of that! I'll double check my emails and calendar. Thanks for the suggestion!
6M
Not to be that guy, but are you sure you filled out everything correctly? I thought I had done everything right, but turns out I made a tiny mistake on one form and it held up my whole claim for months.
I triple-checked everything, but maybe I'll go through it all again just to be sure. Thanks for the suggestion!

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is a joke and nobody seems to care about fixing it. 🤬
Preach! 🙌 But let's not turn this into a political debate. OP needs practical advice rn

Guys, I heard they're updating the system next week. Might be why everythings so messed up rn. Maybe wait a few days and try again?
Where did you hear this? I couldn't find any info about an update on their website.

My cousin works for the state (not unemployment tho) and she mentioned it. Take it with a grain of salt I guess 🤷♂️

Pro tip: if you're gonna use that Claimyr thing, do it early in the morning. I tried it at like 2pm and was on hold forever. Did it again at 8am and got through in 20 mins.
Pro tip: set reminders on your phone for job searches. I do mine every Monday and Thursday. Haven't missed a week since I started this system. 💯
Anyone else feel like they're playing unemployment roulette every week? Will I get paid? Won't I? Stay tuned for next week's exciting episode! 🎰😅
LOL too real 😂 It's like a twisted game show

Unemployment Roulette... coming soon to a bureaucracy near you! 🤣

I heard theres a secret menu option if you press 0#0# when you call. supposedly connects you directly to an agent. anyone tried this?
Sounds like an urban legend to me. But hey, worth a shot I guess 🤷♂️

I tried it and it just disconnected me 😑 back to square one

Not to be that guy, but have you double-checked that you're using the correct website? There are a lot of scam sites out there trying to steal people's info. Make sure you're on the official .gov site!
I had this exact problem last year. Turns out there was an identity verification issue they never told me about. Def try to get someone on the phone asap.
Oh no, I hope that's not what's happening with mine. How did you eventually resolve it?
6M
Had to upload a bunch of documents to prove my identity. Once I did that, it took about 2 weeks to process and then I got all my backpay.
6M
Anyone else feel like we're all just screaming into the void here? NYDOL probably has a dartboard with our complaints that they use to decide who to help next 🎯
LOL too real. I bet they have a wheel of misfortune they spin every morning 🎡

Have you checked if your bank info is correct in the system? I've heard of people's payments getting sent to old accounts.
