I had 6 seperate overpayment notices for a total of $7,655. Took me 3 months of fighting but finally got them waived after I could prove it was their mistake. Document EVERYTHING and dont give up!
This is a known issue their customer service reps are aware of but can't fix without supervisor intervention. The only way to resolve it is to speak directly with a tier 2 support person. Regular agents don't have access to the waiver submission database. Ask for a supervisor specifically when you call.
lmaoooo i love how NY unemployment expects people to just not pay rent or buy food for months while they "investigate" 🤡 like what are we supposed to live on?? vibes and prayers??
FWIW, I had similar issues with my California unemployment account while traveling. What FINALLY worked was using a residential VPN (not a commercial one) AND clearing all browser data AND using private browsing. Those commercial VPNs are all on government block lists at this point.
Just went through this last month. They were mostly concerned about why I wasn't at my previous employer anymore. Since you're working for Uber Eats, be ready to explain your weekly hours and earnings. They'll likely reduce your benefits based on what you earn (there's a formula they use). Better to get reduced benefits than commit fraud by not reporting income though!
Fun fact: when they calculate your benefits with gig work, they look at NET income, not gross. So if you make $500 with Uber Eats but spend $150 on gas, your reportable income is $350. Keep ALL receipts related to your gig work - gas, maintenance, portion of phone bill used for the app, etc.

Dude the SAME thing happened to me last week!! Like exactly the same - 8 weeks used out of 14 weeks eligible and then suddenly "benefit year ended." I spent 4 hours on the phone and finally got through. They said it was a system error on their end. The rep reset something and my remaining weeks showed back up the next day.

you might have triggered a review flag in the system. did you start working part time or have any change in your income reporting? that sometimes causes the system to mistakenly end your benefit year early.

•I did pick up a small side gig last month but reported the income on my certifications. Maybe that triggered something?
