The whole system is rigged against working people anyway. First they replace us with machines then make us jump through hoops just to get benefits we paid into. Corporate America wins again while we fight for scraps.

•I understand the frustration but the important thing right now is making sure your claim gets processed correctly. Focus on following NYS Department of Labor requirements for job search and weekly certifications so you don't lose benefits over technicalities.
Isla Fischer
wait so if robots take your job you can still get unemployment? I thought there had to be like a specific reason or something
Yes, technological displacement that results in job elimination qualifies for unemployment benefits in NY. The key is that it's involuntary separation through no fault of the employee. As long as you meet work history and wage requirements, automation displacement is covered.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my benefits were ending. Kept getting busy signals and the online chat never worked. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual agent who explained my options. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. The agent told me about some programs I didn't know existed.

•never heard of that, sounds sketchy to me

•I was skeptical too but it actually worked. Just connects you to the same NYS Department of Labor agents you'd talk to if you could get through normally.
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!! They make it impossible to get help and then cut you off when you need it most. I've been trying to reach someone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my situation and it's like they don't want to help anyone!
I feel you, it's so frustrating when you can't get answers

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my application. If you run into issues reaching them by phone, I found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really saved me time instead of calling dozens of times myself.
That's good to know, I was wondering how hard it would be to reach someone if I had questions.

I had a really hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim got stuck in adjudication. Someone on here recommended this service called Claimyr that actually gets you connected to real agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me weeks of frustration trying to call on my own.
Is that legit? Seems too good to be true if the phone lines are really that bad.

•Yeah it's real, they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Was skeptical at first but it actually worked when I needed to check on my claim status.
Scarlett Forster
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! I've been fighting with NYS Department of Labor for months and they act like our suffering doesn't matter. Meanwhile politicians get their paychecks on time every week. The adjudication process is deliberately slow to discourage people from claiming benefits they're entitled to.

•I feel this so much. Lost my apartment last month waiting for my claim to process. It's like they want us to give up and find any job just to survive.

hang in there - store closures are usually pretty straightforward once they get to your case. make sure you have documentation about the closure if possible, like a notice from corporate or news articles about the store closing. that can help speed things up if they have questions
