Here's what you need to do: First, try to reschedule your appointment immediately through your online account. If you can't do it online, you'll need to speak with a rep. The fastest way to get through is using claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Yes it costs money but its better than waiting weeks for your payment. When you talk to the rep: - Explain why you missed the appointment - Ask about expediting your payment - Get a confirmation number for the call Dont go to the office - they're just going to tell you to call anyway. The phone system is your best bet rn.
thank you so much for the detailed help! gonna try this rn

Listen up everyone - heres what actually works. I used to work for the unemployment office. The phone system is overwhelmed but there ARE ways to get through: 1. Best times to call are Tuesday-Thursday (avoid Mondays!) 2. Try between 10:30-11:30am or 2:30-3:30pm when lunch shifts change 3. Have all your info ready when you call 4. If you need immediate help, use claimyr.com - yes it costs money but it works 5. Keep detailed records of all your call attempts Dont give up, eventually youll get through!
this is actually super helpful ty! 🙏

Here's the complete breakdown of what you need to know about late certification: - You have until Saturday at midnight to certify for the previous week - Use your NY.gov ID to log in and certify as normal - Payment will be delayed by 1-2 business days - If you need to certify for multiple weeks, you'll need to call - If the website gives you issues, try using claimyr.com to get through to an agent - Multiple late certifications can trigger a review of your account - Save your confirmation number when you certify The most important thing is to act fast and not let it happen again. Set reminders for future weeks!
this is super helpful tysm!! 🙏

Let me break this down for educational workers: BYE date is when your claim year ends, but: - You might still have weeks left to claim - Must reapply after BYE even with remaining weeks - Educational workers often cant claim during scheduled breaks - Need to earn 10x weekly benefit in new base period - Must work in at least 2 quarters Best way to get accurate info is calling NY unemployment directly. Use claimyr.com to get through - saves hours of frustration. They handle the hold time and connect you to an agent. Document everything and keep certifying weekly while you sort this out!
This is super helpful! ty for the detailed explanation

Here's everything you need to know about your first claim: 1. First payment usually takes 2-3 weeks if everything's perfect 2. You MUST certify weekly starting the first Sunday after you apply 3. Make sure your direct deposit info is correct 4. If you see any pending issues, don't wait - call them asap 5. Keep documenting your work search activities 6. If you can't get through on the phone, try claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold for you 7. Keep checking your email/mail for any requests for additional info The system's kinda trash ngl but once you learn the ropes its manageable
This is super helpful, tysm! 🙏
