Fraud alert on NY unemployment account after 7 weeks of no payment - How to fix?

I found a way to solve unemployment fraud payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaxsuQjb1ro

Ugh, that sucks! I had the same thing happen to me last month. It's such a pain to deal with. Have you tried calling them? It took me forever to get through, but once I did, they were able to clear it up pretty quick.

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 about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This happened to me too! Turns out someone had tried to file a claim using my info. I had to submit a bunch of documents to prove my identity. It took about 3 weeks to get sorted, but I eventually got all my back pay.

The ny unemployment system is such a joke. They're so quick to label everything as fraud but take forever to actually help people. It's like they want us to suffer 🤬

Here's what you need to do to resolve the fraud issue and get your payments released: 1. Gather all your identity documents (driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, etc.) 2. Take clear photos or scans of these documents 3. Write a brief statement explaining your situation and affirming your identity 4. Try to reach NY unemployment by phone (use claimyr.com if you're having trouble getting through) 5. Once you reach an agent, explain the situation and ask about their secure document upload process 6. Follow their instructions to submit your documents and statement 7. Keep calling every few days to check on the status 8. Be patient but persistent It can take 2-4 weeks to resolve, but don't give up! If you're having trouble reaching someone, seriously consider using claimyr.com. It saved me hours of frustration. Good luck!

have u tried goin to ur local unemployment office? sometimes face-to-face is better than dealin with the phone nonsense

Oof, 7 weeks with no payment? I'm in the same boat, friend. This system is held together with duct tape and prayers 😩

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T GIVE UP!!! Keep calling, keep pushing. It sucks but you gotta be your own advocate in this mess.

Has anyone tried contacting their state representative about these issues? I've heard sometimes they can help push things along.

lmao watch them blame it on 'high volume of claims' again. as if they havent had 2+ years to figure this out 🙄
