Someone might have reported your account as fraudulent. My roommate had an ex who did this to him out of spite and his account got locked immediately. Had to go through a whole identity verification process to get it back.
There's a secret phone number that actually works better than the main one. DM me if you want it. Got through in 20 min last time instead of hours.
Just DMed you. Hope it helps!
Former bank employee here. ACH transfers (which is what KeyBank uses for these deposits) only process Monday-Friday. Even if NY unemployment releases the payment on a weekend, the actual transfer won't begin processing until Monday morning. Then it depends on your bank's posting policies - some post pending deposits right away, others wait until the transfer fully clears.
Thanks for the insider perspective! This makes a lot of sense.
Anyone else notice that the ny unemployment system runs slower on Fridays too? I swear its like they start the weekend early 😒
FACTS! Trying to do anything on the site Friday afternoon is useless. System probably running on some ancient server that needs a weekend nap too 🤣
I bet a million dollars that if you call and talk to an actual person, they'll fix it in 5 minutes. The problem is getting through to them...
The way that I finally got through to someone at ny unemployment was using claimyr.com - it makes the calls for you and connects when an agent answers. Totally worth it after I wasted days trying to call myself.
Not to hijack your thread but I've been having the WORST experience with ny unemployment. My account got hacked and someone changed my direct deposit info. Been trying to reach them for 3 weeks with no luck. Has anyone successfully gotten through to them lately? I'm desperate.
You can also try calling right when they open at 8am. That's how I got through, but it still took like 20 attempts.

The notice code on April 27, 2020 is what you need to follow up on. Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask about that specific notice. They can tell you exactly what it was for and resend it if needed.

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of the IRS where they make changes without telling you and expect you to figure it out 🤡 I had FOUR cancellations and reissues before I finally got my money last year

•I thought NY unemployment was bad until I dealt with IRS 😂 At least with unemployment I could eventually get someone on the phone!
