lol good luck. system is completely broken rn. been trying to reach them for a month straight

make sure u document EVERYTHING. ny unemployment will try to find any reason to deny u. keep emails, texts, everything from ur employer

try checking early morning like 7am, website works better then imo

lol good luck, easier to find bigfoot than get status info from their website 🤣

Listen up, here's what you need to know about NY unemployment right now: First, make absolutely sure your application is complete and you've submitted ALL requested documents. Common holdups include: - Missing employer info - Wrong dates - Identity verification issues Next, keep certifying weekly! This is crucial - do it even if you haven't seen a payment yet. You can do this online or by phone every Sunday. If you need to speak with someone (which you probably do), use claimyr.com - seriously saved me hours of frustration. They call and wait on hold, then connect you when they get an agent. Lastly, check your spam folder daily and your mail. Sometimes they send important stuff that needs immediate response. Don't get discouraged - the system is slow but it works eventually!

double check ur direct deposit info is correct. my payments were delayed cause i fat fingered one number in my account info lololol

Look for the pending payment status in ur payment history on the website. That's how youll know its coming soon

If ur claim has any issues at all ur gonna need to talk to someone. Best bet is using claimyr.com to get through or ur gonna be calling forever. The phone lines are impossible these days fr fr

these appointments are such a waste of time fr. they just tell you stuff you already know

Make sure your camera works! They won't count it if they cant see you

lmaooo ny unemployment really be playing games with our money smh

u should start claiming earlier on sundays bestie, less chance of problems 💅

Pro tip: use the mobile app! Way easier than the website and you can do it from anywhere as long as you got service

Look Im gonna tell you exactly how this works cause I been in the system for a minute. You HAVE to certify between Sunday 7AM and Saturday midnight. No exceptions. If you miss it, you gotta call them and explain why, and trust me you DO NOT want that headache. They might make you wait weeks to get paid. Sunday morning is your best bet - do it early before the system gets overwhelmed. Don't try any tricks or loopholes cause they will catch you. If you really can't do it yourself on Sunday, your only options are either finding internet access wherever you're gonna be, or calling them through claimyr.com to explain your situation before it happens. Better to handle it upfront than fix it after.

bruh we all in the same boat. the whole system is broken af 😤

Let me give you the full rundown of what worked for me. First, try getting through to regular unemployment using claimyr.com - they'll handle the hold time. If that doesn't resolve your issue, reach out to your local assembly member (find them at nyassembly.gov). As a last resort, the governor's office number is 518-474-8390, but they usually just redirect you. Document everything, including who you talked to and when. Keep all your paperwork organized. The system is overwhelmed but persistence is key. Good luck!

protip: use a landline if u can. cell service sometimes drops and then ur back to square 1 🤡

Here's what worked for me and others I know trying to reach NY unemployment: 1. Call exactly at 8am EST when they open 2. If you get the busy signal, hang up and redial immediately 3. Have your claim info and last employer details ready 4. Use claimyr.com if you're desperate - they'll wait on hold for you 5. Avoid calling on Mondays and early afternoon hours 6. Try the alternate number: 888-209-8124 7. If you get through, write down the agent's name Remember they're dealing with thousands of calls. Being patient and prepared makes everything smoother for everyone. Good luck! 💯

Here's a detailed guide for getting your 1099-G: 1. Create new ID.me account first 2. Once verified, log into NY unemployment portal 3. Click on 'My Documents' or 'Forms' 4. Look for '1099-G' section 5. Select tax year 2020 If website still gives problems, fastest solution is using claimyr.com to reach an agent who can email it immediately. Otherwise you'll spend hours on hold. Last resort: mail request to: NYSDOL Tax Documents PO Box 1979 Albany, NY 12201 Include: Full name, SSN, address, phone, years needed

Just went thru this last week! The key is making sure your new ID.me account uses the EXACT same info as your old unemployment claim - same email, phone, everything
