Filed UI claim 2 months ago, no $ yet due to employer issue. How to contact NYDOL?
I filed for unemployment almost 2 months ago and still haven't received any money. There was an issue with my employer filing the quarterly records, and I've sent all the information I could. I'm still dealing with this problem and need to talk to someone at the unemployment office again. What should I do? Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was in the same boat a few months ago. It's so frustrating when you're waiting on money you desperately need. Have you tried calling the unemployment office directly?

I've tried calling multiple times, but I can never get through. It's always busy or I'm on hold for hours. š«

Yeah, thats the worst. It's like they dont even want us to get our benefits. Keep trying tho, eventually you'll get through!

Pro tip: try calling right when they open. Sometimes you can get through faster that 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

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

$20? That's a rip-off. The unemployment office should be free to contact.

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. After weeks of trying to get through, I was desperate. The $20 was worth it to finally talk to someone and get my issue resolved.

Can you give more details about how it works? Is it legit?

Sure! You go to their website, choose the department you need to call, pay the fee, and then they start calling for you. When they get a real person, they connect you. Saved me hours of hold time.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with unemployment claims.

This is ridiculous. The system is so broken. I've been waiting for 3 months now, and still nothing. It's like they want us to give up. š¤¬

Preach! š The whole system needs an overhaul. It's not fit for purpose anymore.

Have you guys tried contacting your local news station? Sometimes public pressure can make things move faster.

Here's what I did to finally get my unemployment issue resolved: ā¢ First, document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and attempts to contact the office. ā¢ Double-check that all your information in the online portal is correct and up-to-date. ā¢ If possible, get a letter from your employer confirming the issue with the quarterly records. ā¢ Try contacting the unemployment office through social media - sometimes they're more responsive there. ā¢ As a last resort, consider contacting your state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping with these issues. It took me about 6 weeks, but I finally got it sorted. Don't give up!

Yes, I had to provide additional pay stubs and a letter from my employer. Make sure you have all your financial docs ready to go!

Has anyone had luck with the online chat feature on the unemployment website? I've heard mixed things.

It worked for me! But I had to try multiple times over several days. Keep at it!
