How to get my NY unemployment 1099-G form mailed to me instead of online?

u need 2 call and speek to an actual person. the website is trash especially during tax season when evry1 is trying to access it at the same time. keep calling until u get thru, might take a few hours lol

I had this exact issue last year. Here's what you need to do: 1. Call the NY Unemployment 1099-G request line at 888-209-8124 2. Press 2 for tax forms 3. Press 2 again for 1099-G 4. Press 3 to request a paper copy 5. Enter your SSN and PIN when prompted You'll need to verify your mailing address. They say it takes 7-10 business days to arrive, but mine came in about a week. If you can't get through using the regular menu options, try calling right when they open at 8:00 AM. That's when I had the best luck.

The problem is getting through to an actual person. I've been dealing with NYSDOL for years and it's always the same story - impossible to reach anyone during busy periods. I FINALLY discovered a service called Claimyr that got me through to an agent in about 15 minutes instead of spending days trying. They basically hold your place in line and call you when an agent is available. Saved my sanity honestly. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what most people don't know - you can also access your 1099-G through NY.gov ID instead of the unemployment website directly. Go to my.ny.gov, log in with your NY.gov ID (create one if you don't have it), then click on Unemployment Services. Sometimes this alternate path works when the direct unemployment portal is having issues. If that doesn't work, you can also email them at 1099G@labor.ny.gov with your full name, last 4 of SSN, and current mailing address to request a paper copy. Include "1099-G Request" in the subject line. I've had clients do this and they usually receive it within 2 weeks.

THIS DEPARTMENT IS THE WORST!!!! I've been trying for THREE WEEKS to get my 1099! Online says "system error" and phone just hangs up! How are we supposed to file taxes when they can't even send basic forms?? Anyone else getting the run around or just me??? They should extend the tax deadline if they can't get their act together!!!

I just went through this process last week. The most reliable method I found was to send a written request by certified mail to: NYS Department of Labor PO Box 15130 Albany, NY 12212-5130 Include your full name, address, phone number, last four of SSN, and clearly state you're requesting a paper copy of your 2024 1099-G form. I received mine within 8 days of sending the letter. Alternatively, if you know someone who's good with computers, ask them to help you navigate the NY.gov website. Sometimes it's just a browser compatibility issue that can be fixed by using Chrome in incognito mode or clearing your cache.

my neighbor had same issue, he used that claimr thing someone mentioned abov & got thru in like 20 min after trying for days by himself. just sayin it works if ur desperate

UPDATE: I got through this morning! Called right at 8:00am and followed the sequence that was suggested (press 2, then 2 again, then 3). Had to wait about 30 minutes but finally spoke to someone who confirmed they'll mail my 1099-G. Should arrive in 7-10 days which is cutting it close for my tax appointment but better than nothing. Thanks everyone for your help!
