NYDOL claim not showing up in system despite confirmation text. What to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment claim not showing up, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FY9_esVy7A

Ugh, classic government efficiency 🙄 I've been there, buddy. Here's what you need to do when you finally get through to a human: 1. Have that confirmation text ready. Screenshot it if you can. 2. Ask them point-blank why your claim isn't showing up in the system. 3. Find out if they need any more docs from you. 4. Get a reference number for your call! 5. Ask when you should follow up if you don't hear anything. Stay calm, but be firm. Don't let them brush you off without answers!

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

same boat here. submitted everything 3 weeks ago and crickets. this system is so broken its not even funny anymore 😤

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the unemployment office's a**.

plot twist: the unemployment office is actually run by clowns 🤡 explains why everything's such a circus

Pro tip: keep calling first thing in the morning, right when they open. That's how I finally got through after weeks of trying.

idk if this helps but I had a similar issue. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my SSN was entered wrong. Double check all your info when u get someone on the line!

This is why we need to overhaul the entire unemployment system. It's not built to handle the volume of claims we're seeing. We should be pushing our reps for real change!
