New York Unemployment Website Down - Can't Apply Online

same here! the website just keeps loading forever then gives me an error. tried different browsers and everything. ny unemployment system is such a joke fr 🤮

I found a way to actually get through on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but honestly worth it after trying for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The website maintenance usually happens late night. Try applying between 7:30am-8:30am, thats when its least busy. Worked for me

Listen up everyone having this issue. Here's what you need to know: First, the website issues are happening because of high volume. Best times to apply are early morning or late evening. If online isn't working, you have several options: 1. Keep trying different browsers 2. Use the mobile site 3. Call them directly (good luck lol) 4. Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone I've helped dozens of people with this and the fastest solution is honestly using Claimyr. The website will eventually work but if you need it done ASAP, that's your best bet. Don't give up - everyone's eligible gets paid eventually!

took me 3 weeks to finally get through smh the system is so broken

pro tip: if u got twitter follow @nyslabor they post updates when the sites having issues
