Is ny unemployment website down? Can't certify my weekly benefits

Trying to certify my weekly benefits since yesterday morning and keep getting error messages. I usually do it Sunday morning but the site kept giving me some technical error. Tried again in the afternoon and evening with the same result. Tried this morning and still no luck. The page just loads forever and then crashes with some server error. Anyone else experiencing this? Getting really stressed because I need this money for rent due next week. Already behind on utilities. Called the number but after 40 minutes on hold it disconnected. This is so frustrating.

Can't file weekly ny unemployment claim - website down and phone system not working?

My computer crashed last week and I've been trying to file my weekly claim using the phone system since Thursday. Every time I call I get the automated message saying their experiencing high call volume and then it hangs up on me! I've tried calling at 5am, midnight, 8pm but it's always the same message. I can't afford to get my laptop fixed right now cause I'm already 3 weeks behind on rent with no unemployment money coming in. Is the system going to be like this all week? Anyone else having this problem? This is my 4th week claiming and never had an issue before using the website, but now I'm completely stuck without access to a computer.

Will my 2020 work history qualify for a new ny unemployment claim?

The October deadline is getting closer and I'm trying to figure out if I can file a new claim. I worked for about 8 weeks back in 2020 and earned approximately $8,400 total. Does anyone know if this would make me eligible for a new claim? What factors does ny unemployment look at when determining qualification for new benefits? I'm not sure if my short work history is enough or what the minimum requirements are. Thanks for any help!

NY unemployment site suddenly missing captcha - can't login to certify

The weirdest thing just happened with my weekly certification. I went to log in like I always do but the captcha that's normally next to the login fields is completely gone. When I try to enter my username and password and click login anyway, it gives me an error saying I didn't complete the captcha. But there literally is no captcha showing up on my screen for me to complete! I've tried refreshing the page like 20 times, cleared my cache, tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, even Edge), and even tried on my phone instead of my computer. Same issue everywhere - no captcha appears but it demands I complete one. Anyone else experiencing this or know what's going on? I need to certify this week and I'm freaking out because I can't even get into the system.

Will my ny unemployment payment be delayed if I certified late Sunday night?

So I certified my weekly unemployment claim on Sunday around 11:30 PM right before the deadline. I usually do it in the morning but I completely forgot until last minute. Normally my payment shows up Tuesday morning in my bank account. Does anyone know if claiming late on Sunday will push my payment to Wednesday instead? Really need the money for rent due this week.

Certified on Sunday but NY unemployment system now showing 'enter for benefits' instead of 'processing'

Just completed my weekly certification this past Sunday like I always do. Usually after I certify, my account shows 'processing' for a few days until the payment goes through. But I logged in today (Wednesday) to check on things and suddenly it's showing 'enter for benefits' again, like I never certified at all! I double-checked my confirmation number from Sunday and definitely completed everything correctly. This has never happened in the 4 months I've been on unemployment. Tried calling the helpline but couldn't get through to anyone after waiting 45 minutes. Anyone else experiencing this? Does this mean I need to certify again or would that mess things up even more? Really need this payment to come through for rent next week.

NY Unemployment Claim: Only 8 Effective Days Left Despite BYE Date of 02/13/2022 - What Does This Mean?

I'm getting confused about my unemployment claim. My current claim shows a start date of 02/08/2021 with a Benefit Year Ending date of 02/13/2022. It shows I have 8 effective days remaining as of 08/07/2021. My last certification was for the week ending 08/01/2021 and the payment was released on 08/03/2021. What I don't understand is whether I should be focusing on my BYE date or the effective days remaining? If I only have 8 days left, does that mean I only have about 2 more weeks of benefits even though my BYE date isn't until February 2022? Can someone explain how this works? The DOL website explanation about effective days is confusing me even more. On my account page, there's this explanation: "Effective Days: Each day in a week (Monday through Sunday) that you qualify for benefits is called an effective day. There is a maximum of 4 effective days each week, and you must qualify for all 4 effective days in order to receive your total weekly benefit rate. For each day in the week that you are not eligible to receive benefits, you will receive one less effective day, which is equivalent to one fourth of your weekly benefit." I also notice there's a note that says "Weekly payments for $600 showing "0" under the "Effective Days" column, and Debit Card or Direct Deposit under the "Type" column, are the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) payments." So if I have 8 effective days remaining, does that mean I only have 2 weeks left to certify? I'm really confused about how this works with my Benefit Year Ending date being in February. Will my benefits actually end much sooner than my BYE date suggests?

Confused about 'credit to account' on NY unemployment tax transcript - where's this money?

Last week I checked my tax transcript on the IRS website to make sure everything was good with my return. I noticed there's something called a "credit to account" for about $1,160 that seems related to unemployment taxes I paid. This showed up from November, but I can't find any kind of actual balance or account where this money might be. The IRS website is so confusing and there's no clear explanation of what "account" they're even talking about. I've never seen this money - is it supposed to be refunded to me? Does it go toward future taxes? I tried calling the IRS but after waiting for 2 hours I got disconnected. I filed my taxes in April with the unemployment income included, and I don't understand if this credit means I'm owed money or what. Has anyone dealt with this before with unemployment tax credits?

NY unemployment showing no claim filed after I definitely filed yesterday - anyone else?

I filed my weekly claim yesterday afternoon around 3pm like I always do. Everything seemed normal - got the confirmation page saying my claim was processed successfully. But when I logged back in this morning to double check, there's no record of my claim at all! The system is showing I haven't filed for this week, and the payment that should be processing isn't showing up in my payment history. I've been collecting benefits for about 11 weeks without any issues until now. Tried calling but of course can't get through to anyone. Is the system glitching for anyone else right now? Getting really worried since I need that money for rent next week.
