New York Unemployment: Local Council Member Fast-Tracked My ID.me Issues
Called my local Staten Island council member about my unemployment application being stuck with ID.me issues. They contacted unemployment directly and got everything fixed within days. Saved me months of waiting and frustration. You dont even need to visit the office.

•just google your district and call any of them tbh. They'll need your claim number and contact info. Super easy 💯

I found another method that worked for me. Used this site claimyr.com - its a calling tool that stays on hold and connects you to an agent. Costs $20 but worth every penny. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This is the way! My council member's office fixed everything in 3 days when I was stuck for months with that stupid verification process 🙌

Your absolutely right about this. Tried everything else first - calling non stop, sending messages, emails to regular unemployment office. Council member fixed it in a week!
