Can't remember PIN for NY Unemployment claim, fraud statement filed. What now?

I found a way to solve NY unemployment PIN reset issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb9qxasiG3E

Ugh, classic ny unemployment nonsense. Have you tried resetting your PIN online? Sometimes there's an option for that if you can verify your identity another way.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you tried contacting your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things through faster with unemployment issues.

Bruh, the 70s? You're basically a time traveler dealing with this mess now 😂 But for real, the system is so broken. Good luck!

Here's what I'd recommend based on my experience with NY unemployment: 1. Keep trying to call. Use the claimyr.com service if you're desperate. It costs $20 but can save you hours of hold time. 2. Check your email spam folder daily. Sometimes important messages end up there. 3. If you haven't already, create an NY.gov ID account. This can sometimes help with PIN issues. 4. Reach out to your state senator or assembly member. They often have staff dedicated to helping with unemployment issues. 5. If you filed a fraud statement, follow up on it every few days. Be persistent. 6. Try visiting a NYS Career Center in person if possible. They might be able to help or at least point you in the right direction. 7. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 8. Check the NYSDOL Twitter account for updates. They sometimes post about system issues there. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but keep at it and you'll get through eventually.

Have you tried sacrificing a goat to the unemployment gods? Might work better than their actual system 🐐🔮

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out my account was flagged for potential fraud because I hadn't claimed in so long. Had to verify my identity again. Might be worth asking about that when you finally reach someone.

I went through something similar a few years back. The fraud statement process can take 2-3 weeks unfortunately. In the meantime, try calling the fraud hotline directly at 1-888-598-2077 - it's a separate number from the main line and sometimes easier to get through. Also, if you have any old tax documents or W-2s from recent years, gather those up because they'll likely ask you to verify your identity with employment history. The wait is frustrating but hang in there!
