New York Unemployment: How long until I hear about approval? Filed Dec 12

Applied for unemployment benefits two weeks ago and haven't heard anything back yet. Getting worried because rent is coming up. The website still shows pending. Anyone know how long it normally takes to get approved? Starting to get really nervous because I need this money.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone using claimyr.com. It costs $20 but they dial and wait on hold, then connect you to an agent when someone picks up. Helped me figure out my claim status. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The entire process is so broken rn. Been dealing with this since October. Best advice: document EVERYTHING, screenshot confirmations, and keep calling until you get answers.
