No catch man, I was skeptical too. They just stay on hold for you then transfer when a human answers. Saved me from going insane hitting redial for days.
the trick with ID.me is that it doesn't work on Safari at ALL. try using Chrome or Firefox and clear your cache/cookies before starting. fixed it for me!
are you getting both state and federal benefits? the federal supplement might have expired for you. they don't all end at the same time for everyone, depends on when you started.
anyone else find it HILARIOUS that ny unemployment can take our money away with zero explanation, but if we make the tiniest mistake on our weekly certification they treat us like we're committing FRAUD? 🤡 the double standard is unreal
omg yes. I was 2 hours late doing my weekly cert once and they acted like I'd committed a felony. But they can just randomly change our payment amounts whenever 🙄
the NYSDOL website is literally designed to make us fail i swear
something to keep in mind is that ny unemployment benefits are usually only like 50-60% of your regular income, so even when u get approved ur still gonna be struggling. start looking for a new job NOW, dont wait for these people to maybe possibly call u back someday. they've already shown they don't respect ur time.
Bruh they're 10000% selling that hotel. Same thing happened where I worked. Kept us on the hook for almost 2 years with "renovation" excuses. File for unemployment TODAY and start job hunting.
lmao good luck. i had claims pending for 4 months. FOUR MONTHS. by the time they paid me i had already found a new job and moved to a different apartment because i couldn't wait for them anymore.
Don't listen to the doom and gloom. Yes, you WILL get paid for weeks you certified before any deadline. I had weeks pending from February that weren't paid until May. The key is getting through to someone who can actually help. I personally used claimyr.com after wasting days on hold and it was worth every penny - agent fixed my issue in 10 minutes once I actually got to talk to someone.

I'm confused...is this adjustment happening automatically or do we need to file an amended return? I paid taxes on about $22,000 in unemployment last year.

•It's automatic for the basic unemployment exclusion. You only need to file an amended return if the exclusion now makes you eligible for credits or deductions you couldn't claim before. With $22K in unemployment, you'd get an exclusion on just the first $12K of that.

•Thanks for clarifying! I'll just wait for the automatic adjustment then.

ANYONE ELSE STUCK IN PENDING FOR MONTHS ON NY UNEMPLOYMENT? This tax refund is nice but I'm still fighting to get my regular benefits from 3 months ago! System is completely broken. Can't get anyone on the phone no matter how many times I call 😤

•I can second that recommendation. Used them last month after seeing it mentioned in this sub. Got a callback in about 2 hours and the agent was able to release all my pending payments. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast after months of waiting.
