New York Unemployment - How to Prove Domestic Violence for Not Returning to Work?

I went through this last year. You need to get an order of protection from family court or criminal court. Also get a police report if you filed one. unemployment accepted these no problem. Stay safe 💕

Hey there, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at unemployment to discuss this. Used this service called claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold then connect you to an agent. Costs $20 but totally worth it cause these situations need real answers. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Documentation from a domestic violence counselor or shelter works too. I'm a social worker and help clients with this often. Also save any threatening texts or emails if you have them.

yo heads up the victim resource center helped me with all the paperwork when i was in ur shoes. they know exactly what unemployment needs 👀

Call 211! They can connect you with free legal help for both the DV situation and unemployment stuff. That's what I did and got approved no issues

bruh unemployment system is broken af but DV cases they actually take serious. just make sure u document EVERYTHING
