NYDOL Waiting Week Credit Delay - Any Tips to Speed It Up?

Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through the same thing last month. It took forever to get that credit. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? Fair warning though, their hold times are insane.

I found a way to actually 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

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the credit shows up there before they notify you.

This whole system is so broken. Why do we even have a 'waiting week' in the first place? It's just another way to make things harder for people who are already struggling. 😤

Here's what I know about the waiting week credit: • It's typically applied after you've been approved for benefits • The credit should appear on your payment history in your online account • It can take up to 3-4 weeks to process in some cases • If it's been longer than a month, there might be an issue with your claim To speed things up: 1. Double-check all your info is correct in your online account 2. Upload any additional documents they might need 3. Try to reach out via email if phone calls aren't working 4. Consider contacting your local state representative's office - they can sometimes help push things through Hang in there! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within 2 days after I faxed my info

guys i'm in the same boat and i'm freaking out. rent is due next week and I was counting on that credit. what do i do???

Hot take: maybe we should all show up at the unemployment office in person. Bet they'd fix our problems real quick then! Who's with me? 😤✊
