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?

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?

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.

I just finished certifying for my weekly benefits for August 10-16, 2021 and got a weird message saying I've exhausted all unemployment benefits on my claim. This is super weird because I've only been on unemployment since May (about 3 months) and should have way more time left. After I submitted my weekly certification, I got this confirmation page that says: "Claim Complete Your claim for the week of 8/9/2021-8/15/2021 has been entered for processing." But then right underneath that, there's this alarming message: "Important Information You have exhausted all unemployment benefits on your claim. We encourage you to use the job search resources available on our Career Services resource page. To find out if you are eligible for assistance provided by other New York State programs and services, go to www.mybenefits.ny.gov." It also mentioned something about Direct Deposit options at the bottom, saying "You may choose to have your weekly benefits directly deposited into your checking account. You must have a check handy in order to enter your bank routing and checking account numbers." This is confusing because it says my claim has been entered for processing, but then tells me I've exhausted everything and suggested I look at job search resources. Anyone else seeing this? Should I still expect my payment this week? I really need this money for rent and I'm freaking out a little. Has anyone dealt with this before? I've never missed a weekly certification and haven't had any issues until now. I'm in New York State, if that helps.

I got laid off from my construction job in October. Filed for unemployment on November 2nd and got approved right away. But here's the thing - they're only giving me the minimum payment of $182 per week! I was making way more than that before. The website says they need to review my wage history to determine my 'true' benefit rate. It's been 21 days now and still nothing has changed. My rent is due next week and I can't survive on this tiny amount. I've tried calling at least 30 times but can never get through to anyone. The online message system just gives me automated responses saying 'please wait'. Has anyone else been stuck with the minimum rate for this long? How did you finally get them to calculate your proper benefit amount?
