New York Unemployment keeps hanging up saying line is busy - need help getting through

Try calling right at 7:55am. Thats when the lines open. But you gotta be super quick with the prompts cause everyone else is doing the same thing

I found a way to get through! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you. Yeah it costs $20 but totally worth it cause they got me through to an agent. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING THROUGH TO NY UNEMPLOYMENT: After months of dealing with this, here's what I've learned: 1. Regular phone method is basically impossible now 2. You can try their online message system but takes forever 3. Best solution I found was using claimyr.com - they handle the calling/waiting 4. Have your claim info ready when agent connects 5. Be super nice to the agents, they're dealing with tons of angry people Hope this helps someone else stuck in this mess!

its literally easier to win the lottery than get through to these clowns 😤

try calling from a different phone number. sometimes they block numbers that call too much

anyone else just sitting here hitting redial all day? my thumb hurts 😭
