NYSDOL: How to report out-of-state wages when system doesn't give the option?

Ugh, I feel ya. The system can be such a pain sometimes. When I had to report out-of-state wages, I had to call too. Make sure you have all your wage documents ready before you call. They'll probably ask for specific dates and amounts.

Been there, done that. It's annoying af but you gotta push through. When you call, ask them if there are any specific forms you need for reporting out-of-state wages. Sometimes they have special procedures for that stuff.

Pro tip: call early in the morning if you can. The wait times are usually shorter, and the agents seem less frazzled. Good luck!

I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. 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

The whole system is a joke. Why can't they just have a simple online form for out-of-state wages? It's 2023, for crying out loud! 🤦‍♂️

Here's what you need to know about reporting out-of-state wages for unemployment: • Have all your wage documents ready, including W-2s and pay stubs • Be prepared to provide the exact dates of your employment in the other state • Ask if there are any special forms required for out-of-state wage reporting • Inquire about the process for wage verification between states • Find out if there's a waiting period for benefits due to out-of-state wages • Ask how this might affect your weekly benefit amount Remember, every state has slightly different rules, so be patient and don't be afraid to ask questions. The agent should be able to guide you through the process step by step. Good luck!

Anyone else feel like they need a degree in bureaucracy just to file for unemployment? 😅

Hey OP, which state are you filing in? Some states are better than others at handling out-of-state wages.

Plot twist: what if we all just moved to a state with better unemployment systems? 🤔 Who's with me? 😂
