Need help backdating UI claim - tips for talking to NYDOL agent?

This is really helpful, thanks for sharing! How long did the whole process take for you?

It took about 3 weeks from when I first called to when I saw the backdated payments. But your mileage may vary 🤷‍♂️

Did you have to provide any additional documentation after the call?

Yeah, they asked me to upload some stuff to my online account. Just the usual - ID, proof of employment, that kinda thing.

Seriously, it's like trying to win the lottery these days 😫

I found a way to get through! There's this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that calls for you, waits on hold, and then connects you when a real person picks up. It costs $20 but it actually works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

fr? sounds too good to be true but im desperate enough to try anything at this point 😅

idk man, paying to talk to the government? seems sketchy

I get the skepticism, but it's legit. They don't ask for any personal info, just your phone number to forward the call. Saved me days of frustration.

Preach! 🙌 The whole system needs an overhaul

For real. I feel like I need a law degree just to navigate this stuff

I tried that route. Got a generic response after 2 weeks saying to call. Back to square one 🤦‍♂️

Same here. seems like phone is the only way to go unfortunatly

This! 💯 Supervisors have way more power to actually get things done

I think it varies by state, but most have a limit. In my state it's 6 weeks. Best to check your state's unemployment website for specifics.

thanks ill look into it. fingers crossed 🤞
