Here's a comprehensive guide on what to expect after receiving your determination letter: ⢠Keep certifying weekly, without fail ⢠Check your bank account or debit card (if you chose that option) regularly for deposits ⢠Be prepared for a potential interview if there are any discrepancies ⢠Keep checking your online account for updates or messages ⢠Don't ignore any mail from the DOL, even if you're receiving benefits ⢠If you start working again, report your income accurately ⢠If you don't receive payment within 2-3 weeks, consider contacting them Remember, every case is different, but this should give you a general idea of the process. Good luck!
am i the only 1 who thinks its ridiculous we gotta jump through all these hoops just to get whats owed to us? the system is broken af
It's frustrating for sure, but remember the system wasn't designed to handle this many claims at once. They're doing their best with limited resources.
@profile15 found the DOL employee lmao š¤”
not to be a downer but i tried to reapply after 26 weeks and got denied :( apparently i didnt earn enough in my base period or smthing. make sure u check all the eligibility requirements before u apply
That sucks, sorry to hear that. Did you try appealing the decision?
yeah but it was a whole other headache. ended up just finding a part time job instead
Hey, fellow vet here (though not disabled). Just wanted to say don't let the bureaucracy get you down. Keep pushing and advocating for yourself. You've got this! šŖ
Has anyone else noticed that the NYDOL website is always down for maintenance when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point š
omg yes! I swear it's some kind of conspiracy to make us give up
Pro tip: try accessing the site super early in the morning or late at night. Less traffic = better chance of it working
Hang in there, OP! I know it's stressful, but try to stay positive. I was in your shoes a few months ago and it all worked out eventually. Sending good vibes your way! āØ
Thanks so much for the encouragement! It really means a lot. This community is awesome š
Pro tip: if u get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist right away. They have more power to fix stuff like waiting week errors.
guys i think i found a loophole. if you file a new claim it sometimes resets the waiting week. worked for my cousin. might be worth a try?

Anyone else notice that ever since they "upgraded" the unemployment system last month, everything's been even slower? Great job, govt ššš

Pro tip: if u cant get thru on the main line, try calling one of the employer-specific numbers and then ask to be transfered to claims. Worked for me!
