New York Unemployment claim taking forever - got through to someone finally

same boat here waiting since August. what number did you call to actually get through to someone??

Hey I found a way to get through! Used this site claimyr.com - it calls and waits on hold then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but worth it instead of calling hundreds of times. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

what was ur reason that made it not a typical case? mine might be similar

Bruh this system is so broken. Been trying since September and still nothing. They need to fix this mess fr

Let me give you all the details on dealing with non-standard claims based on my experience working with NY unemployment claims: First, these cases typically take longer because they require manual review. The system is designed for straightforward layoffs, not complex situations. Best ways to speed things up: 1. Keep detailed documentation of everything 2. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent (saves hours of calling) 3. Ask specifically for a claim specialist when you get through 4. Follow up every 2 weeks 5. Document every conversation The key is persistence and proper documentation. Non-standard cases can take 2-3 months but stay on top of it!

anybody else getting error messages when trying to certify? systems been acting up all morning
