NYDOL hasn't paid UI in a month, no notices received. What to do?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az8D7GqJ4m8

Ugh, I'm in the same boat. It's been 6 weeks for me and radio silence from DOL. Have you tried calling them? It's a nightmare to get through 😫

When you do get through, make sure to mention the exact date your job ended. Sometimes there's a discrepancy in their system that can hold up payments. Also, double-check that all your weekly certifications are up to date. Good luck!

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important DOL emails end up there. Also, log into your account online and see if there are any messages or alerts you might have missed.

The whole system is broken af. I've been waiting 3 months for backpay and still nothing. They don't care about us at all 😡

Here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Check your online account daily for updates or messages. 3. Make sure you're still certifying weekly, even if you're not receiving payments. 4. Reach out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the DOL and can help escalate your case. 5. If you get through on the phone, ask for a supervisor if the first person can't help. Be polite but firm. 6. Check if there are any virtual unemployment clinics or webinars in your area. They sometimes have direct lines to DOL staff. 7. If all else fails, consider filing an official complaint with the DOL. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but you'll get through this. 💪

have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I got a response within 48 hrs after sending a fax lol

Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" their system last month, everything's been even more messed up? 🙄
