yeah their systems don't talk to each other. the right hand doesnt know what the left is doing. you got emails saying you were eligible but then their audit system flagged you. classic NY unemployment mess.
Theres a whole underground economy of scammers who specialize in unemployment fraud. They buy peoples personal info on the dark web, file claims, then route the $ to money mule accounts. Im a fraud investigator (not for NY) and these cases take MONTHS to resolve. Sorry ur going thru this.
Not exactly the same but my friend had a similar issue with her 1099-G showing more than she received. Turns out unemployment had been sending payments to her old closed bank account for 3 months. When she finally got through to someone, they reissued all her payments. Definitely call and escalate!!
Wooooow 5 months is criminal! I'm going on 6 weeks and already panicking. Is there anything specific she did that finally got things moving? I've uploaded every document they asked for but still nothing.
This is like the THIRD time this has happened in the past 2 months! They really need to upgrade their system but you know they never will. I've found that if you try certifying very early in the morning (like 6am) or late at night (after 10pm) the system works way better with fewer glitches.

EXACTLY the same thing happened to me - I even added up all the withheld amounts from my supplement payments and it came to like $600+ that isn't showing on my 1099. I managed to get through to someone (took forever) who explained that these withholdings are handled differently and we should just use the 1099 as is.

You guys are WAY overthinking this. Just use whats on the 1099-G. The IRS and unemployment talk to each other. If there's a problem they'll let you know. I had the same concern last year and everything went through fine.

•lol fair point. But in this case they do share the data properly. It's one of the few things that actually works right.
