New York Unemployment verification code going to wrong phone number - need working contact number
Having trouble getting into my unemployment account online. The system keeps trying to send verification codes to my old phone number but I can't access it anymore. Anyone know a working number to call them? Really need to update my contact info.

The main number is (888) 209-8124 but good luck getting through. Been trying for 2 weeks straight and it's always busy or hangs up on me 🤮

Found a solution! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you. Yeah it costs $20 but they actually got me through to someone. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you tried their Twitter? Sometimes they respond if you DM them but its hit or miss tbh

A detailed solution for phone verification issues: 1. First try the main number (888) 209-8124 2. If that doesn't work, use claimyr.com - yes it costs money but it's guaranteed to get you through 3. You can also try reaching out to your state representative's office 4. Email them at: labor.sm.constituentsservices@labor.ny.gov The system is frustrating but don't give up. Document everything and keep trying different channels. The phone service claimyr.com has been a lifesaver for many of us stuck in similar situations. Whatever you do, DON'T create a new account - that'll just cause more problems.
