my friend used that claimyr thing the other person mentioned and said it worked. shes been telling everyone about it cause the regular phone line is impossible

Just checking back - were you able to get through to anyone? Did anything work for resolving your pending status?

Just went through this exact situation about a month ago! When your adjudication case closes, it means DOL finished reviewing your eligibility and made their determination. The pending status after that is just processing time - super frustrating but completely normal. Mine took 14 days after adjudication closed to finally see payments hit my account. Keep doing those weekly certifications no matter what (that's crucial for backpay) and check your payment history every morning since they usually update overnight. When it finally processed, I got all my backdated weeks in one lump sum. If you need peace of mind, that claimyr service everyone's mentioning is legit - used it myself and got through to an agent who confirmed everything was on track. The waiting sucks but hang in there, sounds like you're in good shape! 💪

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed about 6 weeks ago, sent everything back immediately, and my adjudication closed last week but I'm still stuck on pending. It's been so stressful not knowing what's happening or when I might actually see any money. Reading through everyone's experiences here is honestly such a relief - sounds like this waiting period after adjudication closes is totally normal and most people eventually get their backpay once the system catches up. I've been doing my weekly certifications religiously and checking that payment history tab way too much (probably like 5 times a day lol). Based on what everyone's sharing, it seems like anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks is pretty typical for payments to start processing after adjudication closes. Definitely going to look into that claimyr service if I don't see any movement in the next week - $20 seems totally worth it for some actual answers instead of just wondering what's going on. Thanks so much @Miguel Castro for posting this and thanks to everyone sharing their timelines and advice! It really helps to know we're all going through this together. Fingers crossed we all see some positive updates soon! 🤞

I'm in the exact same boat! My payments stopped about 2 weeks ago with no explanation and I've been calling nonstop. The automated system just hangs up on me every single time. I've tried the 888-209-8124 number at all different hours and it's like they don't want us to get through. Reading through all these comments, it sounds like contacting my assemblyperson might be the way to go. I'm also curious about this Claimyr service everyone's mentioning - has anyone actually used it recently? I'm getting desperate because my car payment is due next week and I have no idea when this will get resolved. The NY unemployment system is absolutely broken.

I'm dealing with the exact same issue! My payments stopped about 10 days ago and I've called that main number probably 30+ times with no luck. The system just hangs up after the automated menu every single time. I tried the assemblyperson route that people mentioned here and actually got a response within 2 days - they're looking into it now. I also tried the Twitter DM approach to @NYSLabor and surprisingly they responded asking for my claim details (without SSN obviously). Still waiting to hear back but it's the most progress I've made. This thread has been so helpful - I had no idea there were all these alternative approaches. The Claimyr service sounds promising too, might give that a shot if the assemblyperson route doesn't pan out. Hang in there, sounds like persistence with multiple approaches is key!

just be gratefull your actually getting mail from them😂 I haven't heard anything about my claim in 2 months despiet calling every week!

Ugh, I'm dealing with this exact same thing right now! Filed my 1099G online in March, got confirmation emails, thought I was all set. Then BAM - three different letters show up in my mailbox in June asking me to do stuff I already did months ago. One was asking me to verify my identity (already did that), another wanted me to confirm my employment history (yep, did that too), and the third was just a general "we received your tax documents" notice. It's like their left hand doesn't know what their right hand is doing. The whole system feels like it's held together with duct tape and prayers. At least I'm not the only one going through this madness!

Keep filing those weekly claims even with $0 payments - that's crucial for when your claim does get approved. Also make sure you're meeting the job search requirements (3 contacts per week) and logging them properly. Sometimes delays happen when the system flags incomplete job search documentation.

I went through something very similar earlier this year - 7 weeks of waiting with that dreaded "under review" status. What finally helped me was contacting my state assemblyperson's office. They have caseworkers who can reach out to NYS DOL directly on your behalf and often get faster responses than calling the regular helpline. I called my assemblyperson's district office, explained my situation, and they were able to get an update within 3 business days. Turns out there was a simple documentation issue that got resolved quickly once someone actually looked at my file. Worth trying if you know who represents your district - you can find that info on the NY Assembly website.
