NYDOL calls dropping before connecting - Payment issues unresolved

I found a way to solve unemployment call dropping issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt_Wn0N_Gf4

Ugh, I feel your pain! The same thing happened to me last month. It's like they don't want us to actually get our benefits 🙄 Have you tried calling right when they open? That worked for me after like a million attempts.

I found a method that actually works 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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update info there without actually calling you. Worth a shot before you keep banging your head against the wall with these calls.

Omg I'm in the exact same boat!!! 🚣‍♀️ Been trying for WEEKS to get through. This is ridiculous. We need to organize and complain to our representatives or something. This can't keep happening to people who are already struggling!

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this nonsense for months: 1. Be persistent. Call multiple times a day if you have to. 2. Try different times. Early morning and late afternoon seem to work best. 3. Check your online account regularly for updates. 4. If you get through, be super nice to the rep. They're dealing with a lot too. 5. Keep detailed records of all your calls and attempts. 6. Consider reaching out to your local representative for help. 7. Look into alternative contact methods like email or chat (if available). 8. Join unemployment Facebook groups for your state. Sometimes they have insider tips. 9. If all else fails, that paid service someone mentioned might be worth a shot. Hang in there, OP. I know it's frustrating, but don't give up. You'll get through eventually!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣 jk jk... but for real, sometimes clearing your browsers cache or trying from a different device can help with the online stuff. worth a shot!

I dont mean to be that guy, but are we sure its not a problem with OPs phone? Like maybe ur carrier is dropping the calls? Just a thought before blaming the unemployment office (even tho they do suck lol
