Dealing with NY unemployment is LITERALLY the worst part of being unemployed 💀 More stressful than not having a job tbh
I'd rather work at mcdonalds than spend another day tryna figure out their website
Just adding another confirmation - this happened to me too and I used up all my remaining days after my BYE date with no issues. Just keep certifying as normal until you hit zero days.
Side note but seasonal work can sometimes mess with how the system calculates your base period. If your daughter has other jobs besides just the summer camp work, make sure the system is counting ALL her employment history when determining benefit amount.
Very good point!! They only look at specific quarters for calculating benefits
My two cents as someone who's been through the seasonal work unemployment cycle like 5 times now: the key is consistency in your answers. Pick 'lack of work' and stick with it. The system flags inconsistencies more than anything else. Also, expect at least one payment to be delayed while they review - it's annoying but normal.
Plot twist: the 48 days you have left are a mirage. The system is trolling you. File a new claim or face the wrath of NYSDOL's passive-aggressive automated letters of doom.
Those letters give me anxiety every time ðŸ˜
LMAO at "letters of doom" - so accurate tho
Has anyone actually gotten through to a human being at ny unemployment recently? I feel like I'm trying to call into a radio contest or something... just constant busy signals and disconnects.
I used claimyr.com after trying for 3 days on my own. Got connected to someone in about 90 minutes. Worth every penny since it got my claim fixed.
check ur payment history and see what it says for "type" on the last payment. if it says UI, then u used up regular benefits. If it says PEUC, then something else is wrong
They're supposed to do that automatically but with NY unemployment nothing is actually automatic 🙄

I filed in October and I'm still waiting for them to adjust mine 🙃 I've given up and started delivering for DoorDash just to make ends meet. Good luck man, hope yours gets fixed faster than mine.

•That's so discouraging to hear. Have you tried calling them at all? Or are you just waiting for it to resolve on its own?
