NYDOL claim still pending, can't verify weekly - system won't let me. Help!
Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. It's still pending and I'm supposed to keep verifying every week, but the system won't let me do it. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice on what I should do?

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's so frustrating! Have you tried calling the unemployment office? I've been trying for days but can't get through.

•Calling is useless, I swear they never pick up. I've been on hold for hours and nothing 😤

•Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins of waiting last week!

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

•Sounds too good to be true. Is this legit?

•20 bucks? That's a rip-off. The government should make this easier for free!

•I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. After weeks of trying, I finally got through. Worth every penny imho.

•How long did you have to wait with this service?

•It took about 2 hours total, but I didn't have to sit by the phone. They called me when an agent was on the line.

Here's what worked for me: 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try using a different browser or device 3. Double-check that you're logging in at the correct time (some systems have specific windows for verification) 4. If all else fails, try to reach out via email or their online contact form Hope this helps! The system can be a real pain sometimes.

•Good tips! I'd add: make sure your pop-up blocker is off. That messed me up for weeks 🤦♂️

This happened to me last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting accounts with certain claim start dates. I had to call and have them manually fix it on their end. Keep trying to get through to a rep!

•Oh wow, that's good to know. Did they say anything about how widespread the issue was?

•They didn't give me specifics, but the rep hinted it was affecting quite a few people. Definitely worth checking if this applies to you!

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes their social media team is more responsive than the regular channels. Worth a shot! 🤷♀️

•This! I got my issue resolved in like 2 days after tweeting at them. Way faster than phone or email.

•Preach! 👏 It's like they're trying to discourage people from claiming what they're entitled to.

•Calm down, Karen. They're probably just overwhelmed with claims. It sucks but no need to go all conspiracy theory.
