NYSDOL Missing Back Pay: Advice Needed for 5/19 and Current Week

I found a way to solve missing EDD back pay issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLt7pzW8mGI

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. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should be grateful for what we do get instead of complaining about delays 🤷‍♂️

Seriously tho, has anyone actually gotten through on the phone lately? I'm starting to think its a myth...

PSA: Don't forget to certify every two weeks, even if your payments are delayed! Learned that the hard way 😓

guys i just got off the phone with them. apparently theres a new glitch in the system thats causing delays for claims filed in may. they said theyre working on fixing it but no eta 😑

Anyone else notice that the system always seems to 'glitch' right when payments are due? 🤔 Coincidence? I think not.

I'm in the same boat. Been waiting on backpay since March. This system is so broken 😫

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 30 mins on hold!

Have you tried the trick where you select the employer option instead of claimant? I've heard it gets you through faster.

To elaborate on Claimyr, this tool is worth considering if you're struggling to get through to EDD. While it does have a cost, many have found it to help bypass the frustration of long hold times. However, it's not the only solution. Documenting your interactions, using multiple channels like email and social media, and seeking assistance from local representatives can be just as effective without additional costs. It's vital to explore all avenues to ensure you're receiving your entitled benefits. Each approach has its pros and cons—Claimyr offers immediate connection but at a financial price, while traditional methods require patience and persistence. Ultimately, the best solution for you depends on your personal circumstances and urgency.

Plot twist: the EDD is actually run by a bunch of hamsters on wheels. That's why everything takes so long 🐹

Bruh, the EDD is a joke. I swear they're purposely making it hard to get our money. 🤡

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been dealing with missing payments for months now. It's like trying to get blood from a stone. Have you tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

Here's what I've learned from dealing with EDD for months: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and payments received. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Reach out to your local assembly member. They can sometimes expedite claims. 4. Use social media. Tweet at EDD or post on their Facebook. Public pressure can work. 5. File an appeal if necessary. It's a hassle, but it can get results. 6. Join Facebook groups for EDD claimants. Lots of good info there. Remember, you're entitled to this money. Don't give up!

have u tried faxing them? i know it sounds old school but it worked for me lol
