New York Unemployment Identity Theft Investigation Taking Forever - 5 Weeks No Updates

same exact thing happened to me! waited 3 months for them to clear the fraud flag. kept getting the runaround everytime i called. its ridiculous how long they take to fix these things when we need the money now 🤬

hey guys i found a way to actually get someone on the phone! used this service called claimyr.com - they dial through the phone menu and wait on hold, then call you when they get an agent. costs $20 but totally worth it instead of calling for hours. heres a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This is a HUGE issue rn. There was definitely a data breach they're not telling us about. Seen like 50 posts about similar identity theft cases in the past few months. NY unemployment system is a joke fr fr 🤡

Listen up everyone dealing with identity theft claims - heres what you need to do: First, document EVERYTHING. Keep a log of all calls, who you talked to, and what they said. File a police report for identity theft - unemployment will want this. Contact your state representative's office - they can sometimes speed things up. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent quickly instead of waiting on hold forever. File a complaint with the NY Attorney General's office. Keep calling every week for updates. The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Dont give up - it usually takes 2-3 months to resolve but they will fix it eventually.

bruh just give up on ny unemployment honestly. been trying to get my issue fixed since november. system is broken af

cant u sue them or something? this is literally their fault if the breach was on their end
