New York Unemployment Request for Reconsideration Timeline?
I submitted a request for reconsideration a few weeks ago for my unemployment claim. Anyone know the typical timeline for them to make a decision? Getting anxious since my bills are piling up and I really need this resolved.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone using claimyr.com - they dial and wait on hold, then connect you when an agent picks up. Costs $20 but worth it to check your status. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The best way to speed up reconsideration is to make sure you submitted ALL required documents. Double check everything. Missing docs = major delays

Document EVERYTHING. Save screenshots, emails, faxes. Had to wait 4 months for mine but having all the paperwork helped when I finally got through.

Hey all, unemployment specialist here! Let me break this down: Typical timeline is 6-8 weeks but can vary based on: - Complexity of your case - Volume of requests - Completeness of documentation Best practices: 1. Keep checking your online account daily 2. Use claimyr.com to reach an agent if needed 3. Send follow-up documents via fax/mail 4. Contact your state representative if it goes beyond 8 weeks DM me if you need more specific guidance! 💯
