New York Unemployment - Called hundreds of times since June, can't finish my claim!
Been trying to reach unemployment for months to finish my claim. Called multiple times every day since June, cant get through to anyone. The automated system just hangs up on me or puts me in an endless loop. Starting to feel hopeless about this whole thing. Anyone else dealing with this or found a way to actually talk to someone?

Hey I actually found a solution! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls for you and stays on hold, then connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but totally worth it after months of trying. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

DETAILED GUIDE TO GETTING THROUGH: After dealing with NY unemployment for years, here's what actually works: 1. Best time to call is right when they open or after 3pm 2. Use claimyr.com if youre desperate - they actually get through 3. Try their website chat feature early morning 4. Email them AND call (cover all bases) 5. Keep detailed records of all attempts Dont give up, eventually you'll get through. The system is broken but there are ways around it.
