Just wanted to jump in here as someone who went through a similar situation last year. The fact that you were able to get through to someone via social media messaging is actually huge - that alone shows persistence that will help you in the appeal process. One thing I'd suggest is requesting your "Statement of Claimant Account" (it's in your NY.gov portal) which shows exactly what wages they have on file for each quarter. Sometimes employers don't report wages correctly or there are delays in the system. I found out one of my employers had reported my wages to the wrong quarter, which threw off my entire calculation. Also, don't let that agent's vague answer discourage you. Many of the phone reps aren't fully trained on the specific monetary requirements and will give incomplete information. The appeals officers are much more knowledgeable and will actually calculate your eligibility properly. Given that your total earnings and highest quarter amounts seem to meet the basic requirements that others have mentioned, there's likely something else going on that an appeal can resolve. Definitely worth the effort!

I went through something very similar in 2024 and want to echo what others have said - definitely appeal! The phone reps often don't have the full picture or training to properly explain the requirements. One thing that really helped me was keeping detailed records of every interaction. Write down the date, time, and name (if they give it) of anyone you speak with, plus exactly what they told you. This documentation can be valuable during your appeal hearing. Also, when you file your appeal, be very specific about why you believe the denial was incorrect. Don't just say "I think I earned enough" - lay out your exact quarterly earnings and reference the specific requirements (like the $3,100 minimum in one quarter and 1.5x your highest quarter for total wages). The appeal form has a section where you can explain your case in detail. Use it! I wrote about a page explaining my situation and included copies of all my wage documents. It shows you're serious and have done your homework. One last tip - if you get scheduled for a phone hearing, answer that call! They usually only try once and if you miss it, you have to start over. Good luck with your appeal - based on your numbers, you really should qualify.

I've been through this exact situation multiple times with Chase! Once NY unemployment shows "released" status, Chase typically processes the ACH deposit overnight and you'll see it in your account within 24-48 hours. Since yours was released today, there's a really good chance you'll wake up tomorrow morning and it'll be there - Chase usually posts these around 6 AM. I always recommend setting up mobile banking alerts so you get notified the instant it hits rather than constantly checking your app. The waiting is brutal when you need the money, but once it says released, you're basically home free. Just gotta let the banking system do its thing! Keep us posted when it comes through! 💪

Just wanted to chime in as another Chase customer! I've been getting NY unemployment for about 6 months now and the timing is pretty consistent. Once it shows "released" on the DOL website, it almost always hits my Chase account the next business day around 5-7 AM. I think Chase processes unemployment deposits faster than some other banks because they're such a high volume. Since yours was released today, I'd bet money it'll be there when you wake up tomorrow! The first time I was stressed about it too, but now I just expect it the morning after release. Pro tip: if you have the Chase mobile app, enable push notifications for deposits over a certain amount - saves you from obsessively checking!

I'm new to this community and just went through this exact situation! I gave my two weeks notice at my administrative job on Monday and they told me today that they're "accepting my resignation effective immediately" for "business continuity reasons." I was completely panicking thinking I'd lose unemployment eligibility since I technically resigned first, but finding this thread has been such a lifesaver! It's honestly shocking how many employers across different industries seem to pull this same move - you try to be professional and give proper notice, but then they essentially penalize you for it by cutting your time short. I'm definitely going to file with NYS Department of Labor first thing Monday morning and make sure to emphasize that I gave my resignation with the intention to work my full two weeks, but they made the choice to terminate me early. It's such a relief to know this qualifies as involuntary separation since I was willing and ready to work but they decided otherwise. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences - this community has been incredibly helpful for understanding that we're actually protected when employers pull these moves, even when it feels like we might have screwed ourselves by quitting first!

I'm completely new to this community but dealing with this exact same situation! I gave my two weeks notice at my warehouse job yesterday and they just told me this morning that they don't need me for my remaining shifts because they "don't want someone with one foot out the door around the equipment." I was really stressed thinking I wouldn't qualify for unemployment since I technically quit first, but reading through everyone's experiences here has been such a relief! It's incredible how common this practice seems to be across so many different industries - you try to do the professional thing and give proper notice, but then employers basically punish you for it by cutting you short. I'm definitely going to file with NYS Department of Labor on Monday and make sure to emphasize that I submitted my resignation with the intention to work my full two weeks, but they made the decision to terminate me early. It's so reassuring to know this counts as involuntary separation since I was willing and able to work but they chose otherwise. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and advice - this community has been incredibly helpful for understanding that we're actually protected in these situations when employers pull these moves!

File an extension!!!! That's what I'm doing - my paperwork is all messed up too and I'm not dealing with an audit. You can get a 6 month extension easily and then have time to sort this out.

This is exactly what happened to my brother last year! He collected for months but no 1099G appeared anywhere in his account. After reading through all these comments, I'm convinced you need to get through to a real person ASAP. The automated system clearly can't handle whatever glitch is blocking your husband's form from generating. I'd definitely try that claimyr service people are mentioning - seems like multiple folks here had success with it. Don't file without the 1099G though! My brother made that mistake and ended up with a huge headache from the IRS 6 months later. They eventually had to amend his return and pay penalties. The hassle of getting through to an agent now is way better than dealing with IRS notices later. Keep us posted on what you find out!

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Filed my claim about 18 days ago and just got that confusing "adjudication closed" status when I called yesterday. The phone rep basically just repeated the same line about my case being "under review" without explaining what that actually means for my situation. This thread has been incredibly helpful - honestly way more informative than anything I've gotten from the actual unemployment office. The whole "closed doesn't mean processed" explanation finally makes sense of why I'm stuck in this weird limbo. I was starting to worry that my claim got denied or lost in their system somewhere. Definitely planning to call right at 8am tomorrow (thanks for that tip everyone!) and ask specifically about the "adjudication determination letter" instead of just asking for my general status. Also really glad I saw the advice about continuing weekly certifications - I was honestly considering skipping this week's since everything seems frozen, but sounds like that would be a huge mistake! The fact that so many people are dealing with identical situations really shows how broken their communication system is, but at least we're all helping each other figure it out. This community is honestly a lifesaver when navigating this bureaucratic maze. Will definitely update once I get some real answers! 🤞

I'm dealing with this exact same situation! Filed about 10 days ago and got that same "adjudication closed" status when I called this morning. The rep couldn't give me any clear explanation beyond "your case has been reviewed" which tells me absolutely nothing. Reading through everyone's experiences here has been so much more helpful than anything I've gotten from the actual unemployment office. The explanation that "closed" doesn't mean "processed" makes total sense now - I was starting to panic thinking my claim got denied or something went wrong. Definitely going to try calling right at 8am tomorrow with those specific questions about the "adjudication determination letter" instead of just asking for my status. Also keeping up with my weekly certifications even though it feels pointless - sounds like that's been crucial for everyone who eventually got their payments. This whole system is such a mess but at least this community helps make it feel less isolating! Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines and advice. Gives me hope that there's actually an end to this bureaucratic nightmare! 🙏
