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.

took about 2 months for mine to get approved. its frustrating but hang in there

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

$20 seems steep just to make a phone call 🤔

cheaper than missing work to sit on hold all day tbh

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! 💯
