Does NY unemployment ever really call back in 48 hours like they promise?

I was in exactly the same boat last month. They told me the same 24-48 hour callback thing. Guess what? No one ever called. Had to start the whole process over again. Ny unemployment is a joke right now 😡

After struggling with the same issue for weeks, I finally found a solution through claimyr.com - it connected me with an actual live agent who resolved my claim in minutes! Talking to a real person got my payments released after 2 months of nothing but automated messages and false promises. Best decision I made in this whole mess.

LOL they told me 24-48 hours too. That was 3 weeks ago 💀

I got a callback once! But it was like 6 days later not 48 hours, and they just told me they needed more info and then put me back in another queue lmaooo

Here's what I've learned through this whole ny unemployment nightmare over the past year. The ONLY way to get results is to keep calling and documenting EVERYTHING. Write down who you talked to, what time, what they promised, reference numbers, EVERYTHING. Then when they inevitably don't call back, you have ammunition for the next call. It's a broken system but you have to just keep hammering away.

Listen up because I've been through this whole circus before with NY unemployment... and it's about as reliable as a chocolate teapot. Here's the deal: - The 24-48 hour callback is mostly a myth. They say it to everyone to get them off the phone. If you DO get a callback, consider yourself one of the blessed few. - There's a huge backlog and most agents don't have the authority to fix complex issues, so they promise callbacks from "specialists" that rarely happen. - Your best bet is to be PERSISTENT. Call everyday if possible, at different times (try early morning). - Contact your state representative/assemblyperson - they can sometimes push things through. - If you're desperate after weeks of waiting, try claimyr.com - it's the only service I've found that actually connects you with a real person by handling the hold times. - Document EVERYTHING - who you talked to, when, what they promised. Unfortunately the ny unemployment system is completely underwater right now, but don't give up. The squeaky wheel gets the grease in this situation.

I actually DID get a callback once! It was about 72 hours later (not 48), but they did call. The problem was the person who called didn't have access to fix my specific issue... so they said someone ELSE would call. That second call never came 🙃

The key thing nobody tells you is that theres different departments and most reps cant actually fix anything. So they promise a callback from a "specialist" but those specialists are drowning in backlogs. I finally got my issue fixed after contacting my state senator's office - they have special contacts at unemployment who can actually do something.

whats the govs office #? might try that route since ive been calling the regular line for 3 weeks with no luck

i've been told that so many times my ears bleed when i hear '24-48 hours' now 🙃 its their way of getting you off the phone WITHOUT actually helping. my advice? keep calling every single day until you get someone who actually helps instead of passing you off. it took me 17 calls but i finally got someone who fixed my issue while i was on the phone.

Try claimyr.com - best $20 I ever spent after 3 months of no benefits and constant busy signals. Got me through to an actual human who fixed my account in one call. 💯

The callback system is total BS. I've been told this 5 times in the past 3 months and received exactly zero callbacks. The whole system is designed to frustrate people into giving up. DON'T GIVE UP. Keep calling, email your state reps, and be the most annoying person possible until they pay you what you're owed.

Its funny how they can process your application in 0.2 seconds when you make a mistake, but when they owe YOU money suddenly everything moves at glacier speed 🤔

Pro tip: call right when they open at 8am. I got through in 20 minutes that way vs 3+ hours when calling later in the day.

I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality or something. Been trying to get my claim processed since September and keep getting the runaround. Called over 50 times. Email responses are just templates. No callbacks ever happen. How is this legal???

something that worked for me: reach out to your state assembly person and state senator. sounds weird but unemployment has special liaisons who work with govt offices. my senator's office submitted an inquiry and my claim was fixed within a week after 2 months of nothing.

man what I would give to know the REAL statistics on these promised callbacks 😂 like I bet it's something insane like 3% actually happen within the promised timeframe

yo check out ur state senator/assembly person's office!!! i spent 4 months dealing with this nonsense and got nowhere. called my assembly person and they fixed it in DAYS. they have special contacts at unemployment who can actually do stuff.
