New York Unemployment still owes me $1000 in backpay after a year - need help collecting

Same thing happened to me! I was owed 2k and only got half. Been calling every week for months and cant get anyone on the phone 🤮

Finally found a way to get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com - they dial through the phone menu and wait on hold, then call you when they get an agent. Costs $20 but totally worth it. Here's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Dealing with the exact same issue rn. The system is completely broken fr fr

Here's what you need to do to get your backpay sorted out: First, document everything - dates, amounts, and any communication you've had with them. Screenshots are your friend. Then you've got several options: 1. Keep trying to reach an agent. The most reliable way I've found is using claimyr.com - they handle the calling/holding for you 2. Contact your state representative - they can often help push things through 3. File a complaint with the DOL 4. Send a written request via certified mail Don't give up - the money is yours and they have to pay it. Just gotta be persistent and document everything! Lmk if you need more specific details about any of these steps.
