NYDOL claim status check impossible - been weeks, can't reach anyone!

I found a way to solve NYDOL unemployment claim status issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JOmUJ-ApyE

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat for what felt like forever. It's ridiculous how hard it is to get through to them. 🤬

I actually found a way to get through! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you tried calling right when they open? I've heard that's the best time to get through.

Bruh, I've been dealing with this for MONTHS. It's a complete clown show 🤡 I've tried everything - calling at different times, using different phones, even had my cousin try calling for me. Nothing works!

OK, listen up folks. I used to work for a state unemployment office (not NY), so here's some insider tips: • Call during off-peak hours. Try late afternoon on Wednesdays or Thursdays. • Have all your info ready before you call. They might ask for your SSN, claim ID, and employment history. • Be polite but persistent. The staff are overworked and dealing with a lot. • If you can't get through by phone, try reaching out via their online portal or email system. • Consider contacting your local state representative. They can sometimes expedite claims. Hope this helps someone navigate this mess!

anyone else think its wild that we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get what we're owed? like, we paid into this system ffs

Has anyone had any luck with the online chat feature? I've been in queue for hours and nothing...
