New York Unemployment Phone Number Needed - Claims Stuck
My unemployment claim hasnt moved in weeks. I lost the number to call them. Does anyone know what number I should use? I tried calling the main line but it just hangs up on me after going through all the menus.

The main number is (888) 209-8124. They are open M-F 8am-6pm. Good luck getting through tho, its always a nightmare 🙄

I found a way to actually get through! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but saved me days of calling. Check out how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's a detailed breakdown of all the numbers and best times to call: Main Claims: (888) 209-8124 Technical Support: (800) 833-3000 Payment History: (888) 581-5812 Best times are mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Avoid Mondays and lunch hours. If regular numbers don't work, claimyr.com is actually legit - they handle the calling/holding for you. Saved me tons of time. Also pro tip: have your claim info ready before calling. They'll ask for SSN, PIN, and exact dates of employment.
