June 2024 and the weekly max rate is $504 the same since 2018. Jersey $800 Connecticut $900 and mass $1050 a week! New York is terrible!

[@jimgladly6241]

No one picks up phones. And you request information that you said you gave me… and I need to talk to someone an no one picks up the phones

[@ST-xs5du]

I’ve been filing for 6 weeks now and still have not received any payment. I’m behind on rent, no money for food or to wash my clothes. It’s not easy finding a job on the fly. How is this fair for New Yorkers who need the help. There’s no one that can help. No call no one to Email. I’ve emailed IDME and noting. I have no idea what till do you survive until getting benefits. I pray every day that’ll It’s come but nothing. I feel so hopeless at this point.

[@genticezmaxhi553]

[@SunShine-wu1eo]

[@Vanessa-pn9is]

Work work pay taxes . Get nothing back . When u need help the government doesn’t help you but they want u to work like slave and pay taxes for others out of the country or non citizens/ residents. This is becoming worst for us working ppl

[@Frank-dt1kq]

Should tell the people of new york who the private company that is proprietary and can't file complaints against doing business in New York who holds the accounts under the disguise of keybank and mastercard.

[@youngog1227]

How do you upload your wages online?

[@JMak_C-137]

Having same issue, any resolutions?

[@browsedeweb8834]

I keep receiving the following message when attempting to submit my claim "We’re sorry. The information you have entered has been saved, however the system is currently unavailable due to technical difficulties, please try again in 2 to 3 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience."

[@yudel77]

The commissioner created this video because they have no phone support. They do not answer the phones ever. You can't even leave a message. The the poor New Yorkers who are not adept at using the web site are left alone to fend for themselves. As far as I know, the NYS DOL doesn't have physical offices where you can visit and talk to a clerk. They rely completely on the web site and no human interaction. That is absurd.

[@joshuamurphy1156]

dol.ny.gov/career-centers

[@QueensBronxNY]

Yup

[@robertk6355]

YOU DONT ANSWER THE PHONES, STOP LYING TO EVERYONE

[@jimgladly6241]

[@sharnicewallace8367]

Starting to think this crap is a waste of time .

[@mele2023]

[@blacktigeress6035]

It is a waste of time.They make the process long and dificult.

[@micheallee5313]

​@@blacktigeress6035how many weeks you waited until you received your unemployment benefits?

[@godbeef]

I have been calling these monsters for weeks and no one picks up the phone. Makes you want to be a libertarian.

[@user-vi2gf2gs7n]
