New York Unemployment keeps hanging up - need working number to reach agent

Same issue here its so frustrating! Been trying for 2 weeks straight and nothing. The system is completely broken 🤬

Found a solution that actually works! Used this service called claimyr.com - they dial and wait on hold for you, then connect you when an agent picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it after weeks of trying. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Pro tip: try calling exactly at 8:01 AM. Sometimes works better than later in the day

The unemployment system here is complete garbage. They expect us to just survive on air while they take their sweet time picking up the phone 👀

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING THROUGH: After months of dealing with NY unemployment, here's what I've learned: 1. Regular phone method is basically useless now due to volume 2. Claimyr.com is actually legit - they wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up 3. If you want to try yourself, call at 8:01 AM sharp 4. Have your info ready when you call 5. Try the callback request on the website (hit or miss) 6. Message them on Twitter sometimes works Honestly, after all the headache, just use claimyr.com - saves hours of frustration
