NY unemployment stopped payments even though I'm reporting part-time hours correctly

So frustrating! My last unemployment payment came through on October 14th. Been working a part-time gig for about 5 months now at a local store, and I've been super careful about reporting my exact hours every single week. I'm only getting like 15-20 hours a week, nowhere near full-time, so I should definitely still qualify for partial benefits. But suddenly, no more payments are showing up. My online account still looks active and I keep filing my weekly claims. Anyone else having issues with payments stopping even though you're correctly reporting part-time work? Called the unemployment office twice but can't get through to a real person.

NY unemployment certification question: Should I answer "No" to refusing job offers when I didn't receive any? (Week ending 8/29/2021)

I got hit with this weird question on my weekly certification form and not sure how to answer. It asks about refusing job offers during the week ending 8/30/2021, but I didn't get any offers. Just had 2 interviews that went nowhere. Here's what the form asks: "1. How many hours did you work, including self-employment, during the week ending 8/30/2021? Please total the number of hours and: Round up to the nearest whole number of hours. Count only 10 hours for any day you worked more than 10 hours. Use this chart to convert hours into "days" to report." I selected "0 (0 to 10 hours worked last week)" since I didn't work at all. Then it asks: "1a. Did you earn (including earnings from self-employment), more than $604?" I selected "No" since I had no income. The part that's confusing me is question 2: "During the week ending 8/30/2021, did you refuse any job offer or job referral for any reason other than the following?" With only "Yes" or "No" options. I've been truthfully answering "No" since I didn't refuse anything - I didn't even receive any offers to refuse! But I'm suddenly worried this might be interpreted wrong. Should "No" be the right answer when you didn't receive any offers? Or does "No" mean something else in this context? Anyone familiar with how to handle this certification question? Don't want to mess up my claim by answering wrong.

Did NY unemployment change their part-time work hour reporting rules?

Started collecting unemployment in April after getting laid off from my warehouse job. Been doing some gig work on the side to make ends meet while I look for something full-time. I'm really confused about the weekly certification now. I swear it used to say 0 days worked for 0-5 hours, but now when I'm doing my certification it shows 0 days for 0-10 hours. Did something change recently? I'm worried about messing up my certification and getting flagged for fraud. Anyone else notice this change or am I just remembering wrong?

Is ny unemployment phone system broken? Can't claim benefits - wrong pin error and website won't load

So frustrated right now. Been trying to claim my weekly benefits since Thursday but keep hitting walls. When I call the automated system, it tells me my PIN is incorrect even though I KNOW it's right (I've been using the same one for 3 months without issues). Then I figured I'd just use the website but it won't even load properly on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge! Just gives me a blank screen or error message after I login. I've cleared cookies, tried incognito mode, even borrowed my roommate's laptop - nothing works. Anyone else experiencing this right now? Is the whole ny system down or something? I need to get my claim in before Sunday deadline or I'm screwed on rent next month.

Is anyone else having trouble with the slow NY unemployment website?

The NY unemployment website has been moving at a snail's pace for the last two days. I need to certify my weekly benefits and the pages are taking forever to load. Sometimes I click on a button and nothing happens for 5 minutes, then I get an error message. When I try again, it works but then freezes on the next step. I've tried different browsers (Chrome and Firefox) and even tried my phone, but it's all the same. I've been able to get through occasionally by just being super patient and waiting like 10 minutes between each click. Has anyone else been dealing with this? Any advice on the best time to log in when the site might be less busy? I'm worried about missing my certification window and losing a week of benefits.

Will I get NY unemployment tax refund if I used 2019 income to file?

Been trying to figure out if my boyfriend and I will still get the unemployment tax refund even though we used our 2019 income when filing our taxes. We both received unemployment benefits in 2020 but didn't include that income in our tax filing. I've tried accessing my transcript online but the system keeps rejecting me after multiple attempts. Super frustrated now and just need to know if we're still eligible for the refund since our unemployment income wasn't part of what we filed. Anyone else in a similar situation or know how this works?

NY unemployment payment delayed - 14-day deadline to complete ID.me verification after 5 months of normal claims

Will certifying after 5pm still get NY unemployment deposit on Tuesday?

So I usually certify for ny unemployment early Sunday morning, but today I got caught up with family stuff and now it's almost 6pm. If I certify now, will I still get my deposit on Tuesday like normal? Or does certifying late push everything back? I'm stressing because I've got bills that auto-pay on Wednesday and really need that money to hit my account on time. Anyone know the cutoff time for Sunday certification to still get paid Tuesday?

When NY unemployment benefits end, can we file a new claim?

My unemployment benefits are set to expire at the end of next week, and I'm starting to panic a bit. I've been on unemployment since February after getting laid off from my restaurant job when they downsized. The job market in my area is still pretty rough - I've applied to about 30 places in the last month with only two interviews that went nowhere. I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens after benefits run out? Can we file a new claim right away or is there some waiting period? Are we even eligible for more benefits? My rent is due on the 1st and I'm getting really anxious about how I'm going to make ends meet if I can't find work soon. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did anyone else certify on 10/15 but NY unemployment shows no payment processing? Freaking out!

So I certified for my weekly unemployment benefits on Tuesday 10/15 like I always do, and usually the payment hits my account by Thursday or Friday at the latest. It's now Sunday and when I check my payment history, there's nothing showing for this week! No pending payment, no release date, nothing. The website just shows my last payment from the previous week. I've been collecting benefits for about 3 months with zero issues until now. Called the automated line and it says I successfully certified but no info about a payment. Is the system having problems or did something happen with my claim? Anyone else experiencing this delay with ny unemployment this week? Getting worried since I need this money for rent!
