New York Unemployment impossible to reach after medical leave and whistleblowing

same exact thing happened to me after i reported violations. took 3 months to get anyone on the phone. the system is designed to make u give up 🤮

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com - it calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it after months of trying. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Document EVERYTHING. Save emails, take screenshots, record dates of all attempts to contact them. You might need it for your case.

You should contact a workers rights attorney asap. Retaliation for reporting safety issues is illegal af

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR CLAIM PROCESSED: First, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. It's worth the $20 because you'll actually talk to someone. When you get through: - Have your employer info ready - Get the agent's name and ID number - Ask them to notate your account - Request an email confirmation If they say your claim needs review, demand a callback from a supervisor. Don't take no for an answer. Meanwhile file a complaint with OSHA about the safety violations. This creates a paper trail. Been through this myself and got it resolved. Good luck! 💪

try calling right when they open at 8am. sometimes works better
