What happens when my husband's NY unemployment ends next week? Restaurant jobs still scarce

My husband has been out of work for about 14 months now. He's been applying for jobs constantly - at least 3-4 applications every single day. He's worked in restaurants his whole life (mostly as a line cook) and that industry is still struggling where we live. His unemployment benefits are supposed to end next week and we're starting to panic. He's had a few interviews but nothing has panned out yet. Does anyone know what happens after his benefits run out? Is there any way to extend them or apply for something else? Or is he just completely cut off? We've been barely making ends meet with the current benefits and I'm worried about how we're going to pay rent next month. The job market for restaurant workers here is still terrible even though places claim they're hiring. They either don't call back or only offer like 10 hours a week which isn't enough. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We're getting desperate.

IRS Transcript Shows $926 Tax Reduction (Code 291) After Unemployment Tax - Should I Expect a Refund?

So I'm checking my IRS transcript and noticed something odd. I had to pay extra taxes because of unemployment benefits I received last year. But now I'm seeing these detailed entries that have me confused: 826 Credit transferred out to 1040 201912 03-15-2021 $946.00 971 Notice issued 03-22-2021 $0.00 291 Reduced or removed prior tax assessed 08-30-2021 -$926.00 17254-623-05047-1 971 Notice issued 08-30-2021 $0.00 Specifically, I'm confused about that line item from 08-30-2021 showing "-$926.00" with a description "Reduced or removed prior tax assessed" and code 291. Right below it shows "Notice issued" on the same date with a $0.00 amount. Does this mean I'm getting a refund of $926.00 back? The original amount I had to pay in taxes was around $1,000 because of my unemployment income. I also see a credit transferred out on 03-15-2021 for $946.00 and another notice issued on 03-22-2021. Anyone else seeing something similar on their transcript? What does code 291 actually mean? And should I be expecting money back since it shows a negative amount? I'm completely confused about what all these entries mean and if I need to take any action.

Need help getting my friend's documents to NY unemployment without social media

My roommate has been trying to finalize her unemployment claim since April but keeps hitting roadblocks because she doesn't use any social media accounts. The unemployment office needs additional verification documents from her, but their website keeps glitching when she tries to upload them. She's called over 30 times in the past two weeks with no luck getting through to an actual person. I told her I'd try to help since I've been through the unemployment process before. She's super stressed because her savings are running dangerously low (down to about $780) and her last job didn't give her final paycheck yet. She tried going to the local office in person last Wednesday, but they just told her she needed to upload everything online or call the main number - which is exactly what wasn't working in the first place! Anyone know a reliable way to get these documents submitted or a direct contact that actually works? She's about to get evicted if this doesn't get resolved by next month.

NY unemployment keeps giving contradictory information about my claim after severance ended

I'm losing my mind dealing with the unemployment office. They owe me for all of April but nobody gives me the same answer twice. When I was laid off in February, I started my claim while still receiving severance. An agent told me they created a separate claim specifically for April after my severance ended. I confirmed this with them and they assured me the money would come. Now I called back yesterday and this new person is saying that conversation never happened, those certified weeks don't exist, and my only option is to send messages through their useless portal that nobody responds to. I've called 8 times now and gotten 8 different answers. This is ridiculous - I'm starting to think they're just hoping I'll give up and go away. Anyone else dealt with this kind of runaround from NY unemployment?

Anyone getting their ny unemployment tax refund on the 20th? Seems like some people already got theirs

Got notification that I'm getting a tax refund for overpaid unemployment taxes from last year. My account says it's scheduled to be deposited on May 20th, but I'm seeing posts all over Facebook that people already got their deposit today. Anyone else waiting until the 20th or did you already get yours? The email said they're refunding around $1,650 to me but nothing in my account yet. Starting to worry since seems like everyone else already got theirs? Called the ny unemployment number but couldn't get through to anyone (shocker).

Confused about possible NY unemployment refund after 9 months unemployed

So I've been unemployed since August 2022 and have been collecting benefits the whole time. Last week I got a message on my account about a 'monetary determination recalculation' but no clear explanation. When I logged in today, there's a note about a 'potential refund adjustment' but I'm completely confused about what this means. Will I be getting extra money? Does anyone know how to tell if you're getting a refund from NY unemployment? I checked my payment history but nothing looks different. I tried calling but of course can't get through to anyone. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm so confused about this whole process.

NY unemployment payments suddenly stopped for 3 weeks - can't reach anyone

I got laid off in April from my warehouse job and started getting unemployment benefits in May without any problems. Everything was going fine until the beginning of June when my payments just stopped coming. I've been claiming every week like normal, getting the confirmation number and everything, but nothing has hit my account for 3 weeks now. No explanation, no emails, nothing. I've been trying to call the unemployment office every single day but it's IMPOSSIBLE to get through. Either I get disconnected right away or I'm on hold for 2+ hours and then get hung up on. I've tried calling at different times (super early morning, right at lunch, late afternoon) but same result every time. My rent is coming up and I'm getting really desperate. Has anyone else had their payments suddenly stop? How did you actually manage to talk to a real person? I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get this fixed.

NY unemployment tax refund seems way off - should my spouse have gotten more?

So my spouse finally got their unemployment tax refund from that tax break they announced back in June, but the amount seems seriously off. They were on unemployment for almost 8 months during 2022 after getting laid off from their construction job. The refund we got was only $287, which seems ridiculously low considering how much tax was withheld originally (around $2,100). From everything I've read online, people in similar situations are getting much more back. We're in the 22% tax bracket, so I was expecting at least $1,000 or more. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there someone specific we can contact to question this? The IRS website is completely unhelpful and you can never get through on the phone. I'm wondering if ny unemployment reported something wrong to the IRS or if they made some kind of calculation error. We really need that money right now with rent going up again.
