No update on reconsideration claim after 4 weeks - NYDOL ghosting me?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been waiting for 6 weeks now on my reconsideration claim. Its like they just throw our paperwork into a black hole or something. Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes thats the only way to get any info.

4 weeks? You're still in for a long wait, buddy. I've been waiting for 3 months now. No updates, no nothing. It's like they don't even care about us.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up or at least get you some info on whats going on with your claim.

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 explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Look, I've been through this whole process and I can tell you it's a nightmare. But here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Every call, every letter, every email. You might need it later. 2. Be persistent. Call every day if you have to. 3. Use the online portal if they have one. Sometimes it's faster than calling. 4. If you're really stuck, contact your state representative or senator. They can often cut through the red tape. 5. Join Facebook groups or forums for people in the same situation. They often have good tips and can provide moral support. 6. If all else fails, consider getting a lawyer who specializes in these claims. Remember, the system is designed to be frustrating. Don't give up! You've got this! 💪

lol welcome to the club. grab a seat, we'll be here a while 🤡

Has anyone actually had success with a reconsideration claim? Starting to feel like its just a way for them to say they're doing something when they're really not.

This is why we need to vote for better leadership. The whole system is broken and nobody seems to care about fixing it.
