Need help fixing employer name on UI claim - best way to contact NYDOL?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment claim. I need to fix something related to my employer's name. Has anyone dealt with this before? What's the best way to get it corrected?

Ugh, I feel your pain. The unemployment system is such a mess. I had to update my employer info too and it was a nightmare. Took me weeks to get it sorted out.

I actually found a way 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. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Yeah, I was skeptical at first too, but I tried it and it actually worked. Saved me hours of frustration.

20 bucks tho? Thats kinda steep just to talk to someone...

I get it, but for me it was worth it. Time is money, and I wasted way more than $20 worth of time trying to get through on my own.

Have you tried updating it online through your account portal? Sometimes you can make small changes there without having to call in.

Pro tip: call right when they open in the morning. You might have to try a few days in a row, but thats how I finally got through to fix my claim.

This. Early morning is key. Also, Wednesdays seem to be less busy for some reason.

Oof, employer name issues can be a real headache. Make sure you have all your documentation ready before you call - paystubs, W2, anything that shows the correct employer name. It'll speed up the process once you get someone on the line.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely gather everything before I call. Hopefully it'll make things smoother.

I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing whack-a-mole. Fix one thing and another problem pops up 🙃

Here's what worked for me when I had to fix my employer info: 1. Gather all relevant documents (paystubs, W2, offer letter, etc.) 2. Try updating through the online portal first 3. If that doesn't work, call early in the morning (right when they open) 4. Be polite but persistent with the rep you talk to 5. Ask for a confirmation number or email for the changes 6. Follow up in a week if you don't see the changes reflected It's a process, but stay patient and keep at it. Good luck!

have you tried faxing the info? I know it sounds old school, but sometimes that gets faster results than calling or online stuff.
