Need governor's office number for New York Unemployment issues
My unemployment case has been stuck for weeks and I need to escalate this to the governor's office. Regular phone lines aren't helping. Does anyone have the right number to call? Been trying different numbers I found online but none seem to work.

I tried the governors office last month, total waste of time tbh. They just transfer you back to regular unemployment 🤡

Hey! I actually found a way to get through to unemployment directly using claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold for you then connect you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but was worth every penny for me. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The governors office number is 518-474-8390 but good luck getting anywhere with that 🤔

Skip the govs office. Contact your local assemblyperson instead. They actually have direct lines to unemployment office and can help speed things up.

Let me give you the full rundown of what worked for me. First, try getting through to regular unemployment using claimyr.com - they'll handle the hold time. If that doesn't resolve your issue, reach out to your local assembly member (find them at nyassembly.gov). As a last resort, the governor's office number is 518-474-8390, but they usually just redirect you. Document everything, including who you talked to and when. Keep all your paperwork organized. The system is overwhelmed but persistence is key. Good luck!
