New York Unemployment ID.me Account Suspended - Need Phone Number

Same thing happened to me last week! The regular unemployment line is useless for id.me stuff. They just keep transferring you around in circles 🤮

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Cost $20 but totally worth it to actually talk to someone. They have a video about how it works here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Try reaching out to ID.me on Twitter. Sometimes their support team responds there faster than phone

Here's what worked for me with the ID.me issue - you need to call the tech support line at 866-243-7524 during normal business hours. They're usually better staffed in the morning. If that doesn't work, use claimyr.com to get through - seriously worth every penny when your benefits are on the line. Also email support@id.me with your case details and screenshots. Document everything! The more proof you have of trying to resolve this the better.

This happens way too often smh. ny unemployment needs to get their act together

have u tried the automated system? sometimes u can verify through there

Ugh this is so frustrating! I'm dealing with the exact same thing right now. My ID.me got suspended out of nowhere and I can't get any help. The unemployment office keeps saying they can't do anything about ID.me issues and ID.me support is basically nonexistent. How is this even legal that they can just lock us out of our benefits like this? Really considering trying that claimyr thing Romeo mentioned because I'm desperate at this point 😩
