Yo they are mad strict these days with verifying self-employment. My buddy just got hit with a $22k overpayment bill cuz they said his documentation wasn't sufficient. He submitted Schedule C but they wanted more proof that he was actually working before covid. Def include anything else you can find.

Send Schedule C plus any of these if you have them: - Proof of advertising your services - Business cards - Website screenshots - Client testimonials - Social media posts about your work - Text messages arranging jobs They're looking for anything that proves you were legitimately self-employed and not just claiming it to get benefits.

I do have some old business cards and texts arranging jobs! Never thought those would come in handy for this. Thank you.

If they didnt immediately email you saying there was a problem, youre probably fine. The system usually auto-rejects right away if theres an issue with the document format.

I submitted a photo that was literally taken while I was sitting in my car and they accepted it. You'll be fine 👍

am i the only one who thinks its ridiculous we have to jump through all these hoops just to get what we're entitled to? like we already lost our jobs and now we gotta deal with this broken system??? 🤮

RIGHT?? The amount of stress they put us through is insane. Almost like they're hoping we'll just give up.

the system works exactly as designed - to be frustrating enough that some people will give up. less claims = less money they have to pay out.

Check if her phone has any location history from 2020 that might show her at the workplace consistently. Sounds weird but I know someone who used this successfully!

The whole point of emergency unemployment during the pandemic was to help EVERYONE including cash workers. Now they're trying to claw it all back. Absolutely disgusting how NY unemployment is treating people.

Facts! And they know exactly what they're doing targeting the most vulnerable workers who had the least documentation.

I know this sounds weird but try calling your local assembly person's office. My friend works for an assemblymember and they have direct connections to unemployment office staff. They can often solve these issues with one call that would take you months.

can confirm this works! my state senator's office fixed my unemployment issue in 48 hours after i spent 3 weeks trying on my own

Something similar happened to me. The online portal is useless for special cases. After trying to call for weeks, I used Claimyr.com and they got me through to an agent who fixed everything in one call. Worth every penny because I was able to explain my unique situation directly.

0 coins

wait seriously? does that service actually work? ive been calling for weeks

0 coins

Yes! I was super skeptical too but I was desperate. They connected me with a real agent in about an hour. The agent told me they're getting like 2000% more calls than normal so it's basically impossible to get through without help.
