New York Unemployment owes me $1000 in backpay for a year. How to get it?

I've been waiting for over a year to get my full backpay from ny unemployment. They sent me $500 but still owe me $1000. I've tried calling but can't get through. Anyone know how I can actually get the rest of my money? This is getting ridiculous.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been in the same boat for months. It's like they just forget about us after sending partial payments. Have you tried emailing them? Sometimes that works better than calling.

Yeah, I've sent like 5 emails already. Radio silence. It's so frustrating 😤

Emails are useless, they never respond. You gotta keep calling until you get a human on the line.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I get the skepticism, but it's legit. The service basically automates the hold process. You only pay if you get connected to an agent. Saved me hours of frustration.

Can confirm, I used Claimyr too. It's a game changer when you're desperate to talk to someone.

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under unemployment's a** and get things moving.

Listen up, I've been down this road and I've got some tips that might help you get that money: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your calls, emails, and any communication with unemployment. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. I know it's a pain, but squeaky wheel gets the grease. 3. Use Claimyr (claimyr.com) if you're having trouble getting through. It costs a bit, but it's worth it to actually talk to a human. 4. If you get nowhere with regular channels, escalate. Contact your state representative or senator's office. They often have liaisons who can intervene on your behalf. 5. Consider filing a complaint with the NY Department of Labor. Sometimes this can trigger a review of your case. 6. Join Facebook groups or forums dedicated to NY unemployment issues. Sometimes you can get insider tips or find out about glitches in the system. 7. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. There are non-profits that specialize in unemployment issues. Remember, you're entitled to that money. Don't give up! Good luck!

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I'll definitely try some of these. Especially interested in that Claimyr thing, might be worth the $20 at this point.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update it with info about outstanding payments.

Yeah, I check it like every day. No updates, just says 'pending' for the rest of the money.
