Have u tried checking ur mailbox at your old address? Sometimes they send it there even if u updated ur info. happened to me and i was waiting for weeks like an idiot while my card was sitting in my old apartment's mailbox ðŸ˜
I've been at the same address for years so shouldnt be an issue, but good tip for others!
It's the worst when you call and they just tell you to "wait" with no actual info. Try asking these specific questions next time you get through: 1. Is my claim pending or denied? 2. Is there any specific documentation missing? 3. Is there an ID verification issue? 4. Can you escalate this to a supervisor due to the extended wait time? Don't let them rush you off the phone without answers.
Had the same problem and finally got it fixed using Claimyr.com - they wait on hold for you and then connect you when a real agent picks up. Talking to a human made all the difference - the agent saw my claim was stuck in review and pushed it through right then! Got backpay for all weeks the next day. After months of calling myself and never getting through, this was the best solution I found.
Not spam, just sharing what worked after I tried literally everything else. It's just a service that waits on hold for you. No magic, just saves you from the hours of hold time and disconnects. The actual unemployment agent is the one who fixes your claim.
Pro tip: if your claim is stuck in pending for more than 3 weeks, it's NOT going to resolve itself. The system is broken. You NEED to talk to someone. I wasted 2 months thinking it would eventually process automatically.
I went through this exact nightmare in July. Pending for 10 weeks with $0 showing. Finally called my state assembly member who had a contact at unemployment. Got fixed in 3 days after that. Try reaching out to your local elected officials!
Which assembly member did you contact? I'm in Brooklyn and wondering who to reach out to
Check your local churches and community orgs! A lot of them have emergency assistance funds. I got help with my electric bill and some groceries from a catholic charities place and I'm not even religious.
Just a friendly reminder to everyone here to VOTE in your local elections! The people making decisions about unemployment benefits and assistance programs are often at the state level. If we want better safety nets, we need to elect people who will fight for them.
THIS 💯 Too many people skip local elections but those are the ones that affect our daily lives the most!

i work at a restaurant and our manager just told us about this today! it's definitely real but they're still setting up the application process. he said we should all start gathering our pre-pandemic pay stubs to show our hours/wages from before vs now.
