NYS DOL: Only seeing one unemployment refund, should be more. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my unemployment refund. I only see one refund in my account, but I'm pretty sure I should have received more. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm trying to get in touch with the unemployment office to sort this out, but it's been a real pain. Any advice on how to handle this or what might be going on?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried checking your claim status online? Sometimes it takes a while for everything to update in the system.

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. Has anyone else tried this? Kinda skeptical about paying for something like that...

I get the skepticism, but it honestly saved me so much time and frustration. Worth every penny imo. They even have a money-back guarantee if you don't get through.

I've used it too. It's legit. Beats spending hours on hold or getting hung up on constantly.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help push things along with unemployment issues. It's worth a shot if you're not getting anywhere with the regular channels.

Ok, let me break this down for you. There could be a few reasons why you're only seeing one refund: 1. Processing delays: The system might be backlogged, and your other refunds are still being processed. 2. Eligibility issues: There might be a problem with your eligibility for certain weeks. 3. System glitch: Sometimes the online portal doesn't show everything correctly. 4. Overpayment adjustment: If you had any overpayments, they might have been deducted from your refunds. Here's what you should do: - Keep detailed records of all your claims and payments - Try to speak with a rep (use that calling service someone mentioned if you have to) - File an appeal if you believe there's an error - Check your mail/email for any notices about your claim Hang in there, the unemployment system is a mess but persistence usually pays off!

This is solid advice. I'd add one more thing: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every letter, every online interaction. It'll save you headaches later if you need to appeal.

Has anyone else noticed that the unemployment website is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point. 🙄

Pro tip: try accessing the site really early in the morning or late at night. Sometimes it's less buggy during off-peak hours.
