NYDOL weekly unemployment pay missing for weeks - need help getting through!
Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I haven't gotten my weekly unemployment pay for a few weeks now and I'm starting to get really worried. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to get through to someone on the phone but it's been impossible. Any advice on what I should do or how to get in touch with a real person would be greatly appreciated. I've got all my work search records ready to go, just in case they need to verify anything. This whole situation is stressing me out!

Ugh, I feel your pain! I was in the same boat last month. It's so frustrating when you're counting on that money and it just... doesn't show up. Have you tried checking your online account to see if there's any info there?

Yeah, I've been checking my account like crazy but there's nothing new there. It's like they've just forgotten about me or something 😫

That sucks. Sometimes their system glitches and doesn't update properly. Keep trying to get through on the phone, it's annoying but eventually you'll get someone!

I found a method to 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. Does it really work? $20 seems steep just to make a phone call.

I was skeptical at first too, but it honestly saved me hours of frustration. Worth every penny imho.

Wait, we have to PAY to talk to someone about our benefits now? This system is so broken 🤦♂️

I get it, but think about how much time you waste trying to get through. For me, time is money, and this saved me a ton of time.

Here's what you need to do to resolve this issue: 1. Document everything: Keep a log of when your payments stopped, any correspondence you've had, and your work search activities. 2. Check your online account: Look for any notices or requests for additional information. 3. Email them: Send a detailed email explaining your situation. Include your claim number and contact info. 4. Keep calling: Yes, it's a pain, but persistence pays off. Try calling right when they open or just before closing. 5. Contact your local representative: Sometimes they can help push things along. 6. Be prepared: When you do get through, have all your info ready. Be polite but firm. Remember, you're entitled to these benefits. Don't give up! It might take some time, but keep at it and you'll get your money.

This is great advice. I'd add: if you email, use a clear subject line like 'Urgent: Missed Payments for Claim #XXXXX' to get attention.

This happened to me and it turned out there was a flag on my account because I accidentally reported my wages wrong one week. Double-check all your past certifications!

Has anyone tried reaching out on social media? I've heard some people have luck getting responses on Twitter.
