Need help getting through New York Unemployment phone lines - always busy!

Same here fam 😤 been calling non stop for 2 weeks straight. The system is completely broken rn

I found a solution! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then transfers when they get someone. Yeah it costs $20 but honestly worth every penny cause I finally got through! Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Pro tip: try calling right when they open at 8am. Sometimes the wait isnt as bad early in the morning

Heres what worked for me - I got through using claimyr.com. The key is persistence. While waiting, gather all your docs - paystubs, employer info, dates, etc. When u finally reach someone make sure u got everything ready. The $20 fee beats calling 100 times tbh

This is ridiculous how we cant even get basic help. My rent is due next week and im already behind smh

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING THROUGH: After dealing with this for months, here's what I learned: 1. Regular phone lines are overwhelmed, especially midday 2. Using claimyr.com is honestly the fastest way - they handle the hold time for you 3. Have your claim info ready when you get through 4. Be super nice to the rep, they're dealing with angry people all day 5. Take detailed notes during your call I know paying $20 seems annoying but its better than wasting days trying to get through. The service at claimyr.com is legit and they guarantee you'll get through or money back. Good luck everyone!
