NYS Department of Labor unemployment relief organization purposes - need help understanding my benefits
I'm trying to understand what the main purposes are behind how NYS Department of Labor organizes unemployment relief programs. My claim has been sitting in adjudication for weeks and I'm wondering if there are specific goals or purposes that guide how they handle cases like mine. Does anyone know what the two main purposes are of how they structure their unemployment relief system? I'm hoping understanding this might help me figure out why my weekly claims are taking so long to process.

The NYS Department of Labor unemployment relief system has two primary purposes: 1) Providing temporary financial assistance to eligible workers who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, and 2) Helping stabilize the economy by maintaining consumer spending power during periods of high unemployment. Your adjudication delay is probably related to verification requirements rather than these broader organizational goals.

•That makes sense about the economic stabilization part. Do you think the verification stuff is taking longer because they're being extra careful with fraud prevention?

i had the same problem with my claim sitting forever, turns out they were just backed up with cases. the purposes don't really affect individual processing times unfortunately

If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor about your adjudication status, I had success using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Much easier than sitting on hold for hours or getting disconnected.

•Is that service legit? I've been trying to call for three weeks about my claim status and keep getting the busy signal.

•Yeah it worked for me. I was able to speak with someone who explained why my claim was held up and what documents I needed to submit. Saved me weeks of frustration.

The whole system is BROKEN! They talk about these noble purposes but then leave people hanging for months without any communication. I've been waiting 8 weeks for my appeal hearing and can barely pay rent. Where's the 'temporary financial assistance' when you actually need it??

•I feel you on this. The system promises help but the bureaucracy makes it nearly impossible to actually get benefits when you need them most.
