Oh god this is giving me anxiety - what if they ask for documentation about the childcare issues? What if my employer lies about what happened? What if they say it was misconduct when it really wasn't??
This reminds me of when my sister was trying to figure out her benefits after she got laid off from her teaching job. She was so stressed about whether she was getting the right amount, spent weeks researching different scenarios. Turns out the NYS Department of Labor calculation is what it is - there's really no gaming the system to get more than you're entitled to based on your work history.
I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed help with my claim status. Ended up using this service called Claimyr that actually got me connected to an agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than spending hours on hold.
I've been trying to get through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my benefit calculation because I think they made an error. Their phone lines are always busy and the callback system never works. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a real person there?
I had the same problem until someone told me about Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents by handling the calling for you. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I used it last month and finally got my benefit rate issue resolved after weeks of trying on my own.
The whole system is a joke honestly. I qualified for the maximum $504 but they reduced it to $380 because of some mysterious calculation error that nobody can explain to me. Been fighting this for months.

this is one thing the system actually does right - keeping your info private. unlike everything else about unemployment that's a total mess lol

I remember being super paranoid about this when I first filed. Turns out I was worried over nothing - nobody at my new job ever knew I had collected unemployment unless I told them. The records are definitely not something random people can access.
