New York Unemployment: Filed in October, No Response After 3 Months

Same here! Filed in November and nothing but crickets. The system is completely broken rn

Finally found a way to get through! Used claimyr.com - its this service that calls and waits on hold for you, then connects you when they get an agent. Costs $20 but totally worth it after trying to call for months. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you tried contacting your local state representative? They can sometimes help speed things up. Email them explaining your situation

This is unacceptable frfr. Been working since i was 16 paying into the system and now when we need help they ghost us 🤮

Look, here's what you need to do to get this resolved: First, document everything. Screenshot your claim status, keep a log of all your call attempts. This helps if you need to prove you've been trying. Second, try reaching them through multiple channels: - Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone (costs $20 but actually works) - Message them on Twitter @NYSLabor - Email your state representative - Submit complaints to the DOL website Third, make sure you're still certifying weekly even if you haven't gotten any payments. They'll backpay you once approved. Don't give up! The system is overwhelmed but persistence pays off. I was in the same boat and finally got through using claimyr.com

My claim took 4 months to process but I finally got backpay. Keep certifying!!!
