Exasperation Grows Over Delays Trying To Sign Up For Unemployment, ‘People Have No Food, People Are Talking About Suicide’
CBS New York (WLNY) ^ | April 27, 2020 | CBS New York

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Unemployment remains a major issue across the country.

Many New York and New Jersey residents are losing hope, and are out of cash.

Adam D’Aleo has listened to the New York Department of Labor’s “we are experiencing high call volume” recording more times than he can count.

“It’s embarrassing, I remember it,” D’Aleo said.

When he was laid off at the beginning of April, he filed for unemployment benefits online. Every time he logs in, he gets this notice: “To complete the claim, call the claims center.”

And not one mention of competing with non-citizen visa workers to get their job back or to get a new job. Not one mention of cheap foreign labor via H-1B, H-2B, L1, L2, and other worker visa programs that will be vying for the same jobs and lower wages. These unemployed American workers will find getting new work even harder than getting on unemployment. Hopefully they will hold people accountable in November.

Before you find out that all the lines are busy, NYS makes you go through 2 minutes of BS including keying in your SS#. Then they say you are being transferred to an agent. THEN they tell you the lines are busy and they disconnect you.

To the essential people, non-essential people are... non-essential.

If they off themselves, more for the essential people!

When they are hungry and homeless, they should feel gratitude to their Leader, The Cuomo, for keeping them away from that dreaded bug.

You all need to Google the backdoor lines

Once you get them and someone on the line be very polite and they will help you.

They know the lines are crowded.

This happened in 2008 California and many friends found the back door lines, pleaded their case and problem solved.

Ive been told that while you are filing on line there is no way to save and if your are not quick enough you get timed out and have to start all over again, prehistoric equipment software and lazy a## civil servant cave people not interested in doing their jobs. Read an article that trump wanted to distribute the unemployment to the people directly and the states stopped it in its tracks. As we are seeing and hearing this is turning out to be a way to continue this lock down and destroy trump and the economy

There are no backdoor lines in NYS. You can get a sample of the NYS insanity on this discussion thread.

“ To complete the claim, call the claims center, where we will not answer because we have no money. We spent it all on undocumented workers.”

That is because it all gets fed into an IBM 390 Mainframe down in Trenton or Albany or wherever your state capital is.

The web interface is really a translation from html forms to scripts being sent to a terminal.

Replacing that 390 would insanely expensive and the system probably wouldn’t even be as reliable.

The IBM will run forever, however the Dell PowerEdges the operate the web interface well that is a different story.
