Sent hearing request 3 months ago, no response. What to do? (NYDOL)

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I sent in a hearing request about 3 months ago and I haven't heard anything back. I'm starting to get worried. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay? Any advice on what I should do next? I'm thinking about calling them, but I'm not sure if that'll help or just waste my time.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been waiting for 2 months on mine. The system is so backed up its ridiculous. Have you tried checking your online account for any updates?

3 months is way too long. You should definitely follow up. I'd suggest calling them first thing in the morning when they open. Be prepared to wait on hold for a while tho.

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

Sounds too good to be true. Does it really work?

Yeah, it actually does! I was skeptical at first too, but I was desperate. It saved me hours of hold time.

I get it, but think about how much your time is worth. For me, not having to sit on hold for hours was totally worth it.

Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help push things along.

I hadn't thought of that. Good idea! I'll give it a shot.

Okay, so here's what you need to do: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your attempts to contact them, including dates and times. 2. Send a follow-up letter via certified mail. This creates a paper trail. 3. Call them daily if possible. Use the automated system to check your claim status, but also try to speak with a representative. 4. Check your spam folder regularly. Sometimes important emails end up there. 5. Reach out to your state representative or senator. They often have staff dedicated to helping constituents with these issues. 6. If all else fails, consider contacting a lawyer who specializes in unemployment cases. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up!

Have you checked if there's been any policy changes or updates that might affect your case? Sometimes they make changes and don't communicate them well.

I haven't, actually. Where would I find that kind of info?

Try checking the official unemployment website for your state. They usually have a news or updates section. Also, follow their social media accounts if they have any.
