Somewhat related question - has anyone successfully won a case against their employer who lied about termination reason? What kind of evidence was most helpful?
I won mine! The smoking gun was an email from HR that said "position eliminated due to budget cuts" which directly contradicted their claim that I was fired for performance.
The system is designed to deny benefits. That's why there's a waiting period in the first place. They know most people won't bother for short term issues. It's all about saving the state money. 😠
I actually called about a similar situation using claimyr.com after struggling to get through for days. The agent told me that while you won't get benefits for a 5-day quarantine due to the waiting period, there's a COVID sick leave law in NY that might help depending on your employer size. Worth looking into!
Don't remember exactly but it was worth it to stop wasting hours on hold. Talking to an actual agent solved my issue in minutes after weeks of stress. Here's their link: claimyr.com

Not to be that person, but why'd you select the wrong option in the first place? Those forms literally ask you twice to confirm 🙄

Anyone else notice how the tourism recovery benefit system seems completely separate from the regular unemployment system? Like why can't they just use the same payment info they already have for us? 🤦♀️

•LMAO RIGHT?? I think each program is funded differently so they need separate systems. Still stupid tho
