How to file UI claims for multiple weeks at once? (NYDOL)

Ugh, I've been there. It's such a pain trying to file for multiple weeks. I think there might be a limit, but I'm not 100% sure. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? They might be able to help you out.

I actually found a way to get someone on the phone! I used this site called claimyr.com. It's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then sends the call to your phone when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

From what I remember, you can file for up to 4 weeks at a time. But don't quote me on that lol. The system is always changing 🤷‍♂️

Here's what I know about filing multiple weeks: • You can typically file for up to 4 weeks at once • Make sure you have all the information for each week ready (earnings, job search activities, etc.) • If you're filing for weeks that are more than 14 days old, you might need to provide a reason for the late filing • Sometimes the online system glitches when filing multiple weeks, so be patient and try again if it doesn't work the first time • If you run into issues, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get our benefits? 🤬 the system is broken af

Pro tip: Keep a detailed log of all your attempts to file claims. If there's ever an issue with backdating or late filing, having documentation can really help your case.

Has anyone else noticed that the system seems to work better late at night? I've had the most success filing claims around 11 PM or midnight. Might be worth a shot if you're having trouble during the day.
