i think the whole program is a scam tbh. ny state announced this big relief program to look good in the press but never had a plan to actually distribute the funds efficiently. classic government move - big promises, garbage execution.

I'm a former tour guide who applied on April 5th. Just got my payment today (August 12th). So it took just over 4 months total. Hang in there everyone, they ARE slowly processing them!

•This gives me hope! Did your status ever update online or did the money just show up?
PixelWarrior
•Status never changed from "pending review" - the money just appeared in my account this morning! Check your bank not the website.

Check that your direct deposit info is correct in the system!!! My backpay was supposedly "sent" but to an old account. Once I updated it they resent everything within a week.
NY unemployment is still backed up from covid even tho that was years ago 🙄 there's like 8 people answering phones for the whole state i swear. absolute joke.
and they probably hired their cousins who don't know what they're doing 🤡
for real! every time i get someone they give me different info. left hand doesn't know what the right is doing

There's actually a new NYS tax credit for 2023 called the Working Families Tax Credit that might help offset some of the tax burden if you qualify. Worth looking into if you were on unemployment part of the year but also worked.

•Do you have a link to info about this? I can't find anything about a NYS Working Families Tax Credit for 2023

•Sorry, I was thinking of the Enhanced Earned Income Tax Credit. Here's some info: https://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/credits/earned_income_credit.htm

If you had any taxes withheld from your unemployment checks, make sure that shows up correctly on your 1099-G. My friend had withholding but it wasn't reflected on his form and he had to contact ny unemployment to get it fixed.

If you're really stuck, you can also try emailing NYS.1099G@labor.ny.gov with your request. Include your full name, last 4 of SSN, mailing address, and phone number. I had to do this last year and they responded within 3 business days with my form. Way easier than calling!
This is great to know, thanks! I'll try this today. Hopefully they respond quickly.

don't stress too much, they're always late with these forms. I'm waiting too and my accountant said we have until April to file anyway. The IRS doesn't even start processing returns until late January, so even if you file "early" you're not getting your refund any faster.

Has anyone noticed how these rumors about new stimulus money always spread right before elections? 🤔 Just saying...

I checked with several sources and called ny unemployment directly. No stimulus is coming currently. The only payments going out now are regular unemployment benefits, child tax credits if you have kids, and maybe some retroactive payments if you had issues with your claim before. Don't get your hopes up for anything else right now unfortunately.
