Missed my New York Unemployment appointment - Will visiting office speed up payment?

Going to the office won't help speed things up. They'll just tell you to call the phone number. Trust me I tried last month and wasted 3 hours sitting there 🤡

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it. They have a video explaining how it works here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

You need to reschedule your appointment asap! Call first thing tomorrow morning. Missing appointments can mess up your whole claim

Same thing happened to me last month. Your payment might be delayed by a week or two now. The system is so broken fr fr 🤮

Here's what you need to do: First, try to reschedule your appointment immediately through your online account. If you can't do it online, you'll need to speak with a rep. The fastest way to get through is using claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Yes it costs money but its better than waiting weeks for your payment. When you talk to the rep: - Explain why you missed the appointment - Ask about expediting your payment - Get a confirmation number for the call Dont go to the office - they're just going to tell you to call anyway. The phone system is your best bet rn.

ny unemployment system staying true to its reputation of being completely useless 👀
