Anyone get their NY unemployment tax refund on H&R Block emerald card yet?

Trying to figure out if anyone has gotten their unemployment tax refund from the $12,400 non-taxable adjustment on their H&R Block emerald card yet? I've been checking my account every day and nothing. Seeing posts from people who had a 9/24 deposit date and already got theirs in regular bank accounts three days ago. Starting to get worried since I really need this money for bills. Anyone with emerald card specifically get theirs early or on time? Thanks for any info!

NY unemployment payment missing for 9/15 - anyone else not getting paid this week?

So annoying. My regular payment that should have come in on Tuesday 9/15 never showed up in my account. I've checked my payment history and there's nothing listed for this week. My claim is definitely still active until 11/22/23 so I should be getting paid. Called the ny unemployment office like 20 times today and couldn't get through to anyone. The automated system just hangs up after putting me on hold. I know several people who have claims that expired in May and they're still getting their money without issues! This makes zero sense. Has anyone else not received their payment this week or know what's going on? I need that money for rent.

Can I get ny unemployment if I had to quit in April due to schools closing and no childcare?

Back in April I had to quit my job because schools suddenly shut down and I had no childcare options for my two kids (7 and 9). I couldn't find anyone to watch them and my boss wouldn't let me work from home or adjust my hours. I tried asking family but everyone was either working or high-risk. I finally applied for unemployment in May and just yesterday got a questionnaire about my employment situation. I filled it out explaining everything about the childcare situation and submitted it through the online portal. Anyone know if quitting for childcare reasons during school closures counts as a valid reason? Will I actually get benefits? The waiting and uncertainty is killing me since we're really struggling financially right now.

NY unemployment payment missing after certifying twice - nothing received for August payments

My roommate has been certifying every week for unemployment without issues, but suddenly ran into problems. She filed on Sunday 7/11/22 like normal, but noticed Thursday came around with no deposit. She got worried and certified again on Thursday thinking maybe the first one didn't go through, but now it's been another week with no money showing up at all. Has anyone else experienced this payment delay recently? She's checked her payment history and there's nothing pending or processed for the last two weeks. She's starting to panic because rent is coming up and she was counting on those payments. Any advice on what she should do? Is there something going on with the NY unemployment system right now?

Weird questions about break in claim during NY unemployment certification - I never stopped claiming?

I just completed my weekly certification for ny unemployment and got these strange questions about a 'break in claim' that really confused me. The system suddenly asked for a return to work date and my employer's EIN number. The thing is, I never stopped claiming or went back to work! I've been certifying every single week since I got laid off in August. Has anyone else run into this? I'm worried my payments might get delayed because I didn't know what to put for these questions. I ended up entering my original layoff info again, but now I'm stressing that I might have messed something up.

My family member's NY unemployment expires Sunday - what questions will they ask when reapplying?

My cousin's claim is set to expire on 10/23/22 which falls on a Sunday. The unemployment office told her she needs to call them to file a new claim on 10/25/22. Does anyone know what questions they'll be asking? Everything about her employment situation has remained exactly the same since April of last year. I'm trying to help her prepare since she gets really anxious with these types of calls. Also, is there any way to do this online instead of calling, or is calling the only option?

Will answering self-employed question affect my ny unemployment benefits this week?

So I filed my weekly certification this morning and at the end of the process I got this weird question I've never seen before. It asked if my most recent work before filing was self-employment. I'm a hairstylist who got laid off from a salon in October, but I still have about 5-6 regular clients I do house calls for on weekends. I honestly answered "yes" to the question since I did have those clients. Now I'm freaking out - will this mess up my payment for this week? I'm counting on that money for rent. Anyone else run into this question? I've been filing since November and this is the first time I've seen it. Should I have answered differently?

Why does NY unemployment deposit take so long after Friday certification?

I'm confused about the payment schedule for unemployment benefits. I certified this past Friday and still haven't received my payment. Do I seriously have to wait until Monday to get my money? This seems ridiculous since I'm already behind on rent and utilities. Does anyone know if there's a specific reason why payments don't process over the weekend? I thought with direct deposit it would be faster. The website doesn't give any clear info about when exactly payments go through after certifying on different days of the week. Just trying to figure out when I can actually count on having money in my account.

Confused about NY unemployment supplement ending but system says I've exhausted benefits already?

So I've been receiving my regular unemployment payment plus that extra $300 supplement since February. I thought this was supposed to continue until September 4th, but when I logged in yesterday to certify, the system told me I've exhausted all my benefits? I'm really confused because I was counting on those payments through September. I did some research and found the federal supplement (I think it's called FPUC?) is definitely supposed to run until early September. Has anyone else gotten this message? I tried calling the NY unemployment office but couldn't get through to anyone. I've been unemployed since December when our restaurant closed, and I really need these benefits for another month until I start my new job in October. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Got NY unemployment message "exhausted all benefits" for August 9-15 claim but only been on UI since May - Will I still get paid?
