NYDOL disqualified me under section 593.1 - How to appeal?

I found a way to solve unemployment benefits disqualification appeal, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H95bYgt1ghA

Ugh, that sucks! I've been there before. You need to appeal ASAP. Gather any evidence you have that shows you had a good reason to quit. Emails, texts, anything that proves your case. The appeal process can be a pain, but don't give up!

make sure you file the appeal within 30 days of getting that letter! don't miss the deadline or you'll be SOL

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the unemployment office! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials through the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Pro tip: When you appeal, focus on the specific reasons why you HAD to quit. Don't just say "I didn't like my job" or "My boss was mean." You need to show it was impossible to continue working there. Think health and safety issues, illegal practices, severe harassment, etc.

The unemployment system is such a joke 🤡 They make it so hard to get benefits even when you really need them. It's like they want us to suffer.

Here's what you need to do to appeal your disqualification: 1. File your appeal IMMEDIATELY. You usually have 30 days from the date on the letter. 2. Gather all evidence: emails, texts, witness statements, anything that proves you had good cause to quit. 3. Write a clear, concise statement explaining why you had to leave your job. Be specific and stick to the facts. 4. If possible, get legal advice. Some areas have free legal aid for unemployment cases. 5. Prepare for your hearing. You'll likely have a chance to present your case to an administrative law judge. 6. During the hearing, stay calm and professional. Stick to the relevant facts. 7. If you lose the appeal, you may be able to appeal to a higher level. Don't give up! Remember, "good cause" usually means the reason for quitting would compel a reasonable person to leave their job. Health and safety issues, illegal practices, or severe harassment are often considered good cause. Good luck! The system can be frustrating, but many people win their appeals.

have you tried calling your local state rep? sometimes they can help push things along w/ unemployment office

ugh im in the same boat rn. been waiting 2 months for my appeal hearing. this whole system is a dumpster fire 🔥

Quick question - did you report your reason for leaving when you first filed for unemployment? Sometimes people forget to mention it and that can cause issues later.

I went through something similar last year and won my appeal! The key is documentation - I took screenshots of every hostile email from my supervisor, kept records of the unsafe working conditions, and even got a statement from a coworker who witnessed the harassment. Also, don't just focus on what happened - explain how you tried to resolve the issues first (like talking to HR or your manager) before you felt you had no choice but to quit. The hearing officer really cared about seeing that I made reasonable efforts to fix the situation before leaving. You got this! 💪
