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!

Stuck in NY unemployment limbo for 3 months - need help getting a human on the phone

Going on my 13th week with no unemployment benefits. My claim has been stuck in 'pending' status since mid-February. I've called the 888 number literally hundreds of times, sent multiple messages through their portal, and even tried reaching out on social media twice but nothing. Phone calls either disconnect or I'm on hold until the system hangs up on me. This is seriously stressing me out since my savings are almost gone. How is anyone supposed to actually talk to a real person at NY unemployment? Has anyone successfully gotten through recently and can share how you did it? I'm desperate to get this resolved.

Can I update my NY unemployment claim to add a forgotten employer from last year?

I filed for ny unemployment back in August 2022 and completely forgot to add one of my jobs I worked at from March to June 2022. It wasnt a big job, I only made about $3,400 there but I'm worried I messed up by not including it. Is it too late to update my claim now? It's been over a year since I filed. Could I get in trouble for this? Will they make me pay back benefits if I add it now? I've been stressing about this for weeks and don't know what to do.

Will NY unemployment max benefit amount continue after federal $300 ended?

Since the federal supplemental $300 expired on August 29th, I'm trying to figure out what happens with regular unemployment benefits. Will we still get our regular state benefit amount or did everything just end completely? I was receiving the maximum weekly amount plus the $300 federal boost, but now I'm confused about what continues. My benefit year doesn't end until December. Has anyone received a payment this week? Just want to know if I should expect something or if I need to start selling plasma or something.

NY unemployment keeps rejecting my ID verification photos - sent 4 times already!

I'm at my wits end with this ID verification nightmare. Lost my job back in July and applied for unemployment benefits right away. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until I got an email in August asking me to verify my identity by uploading photos of my driver's license. No problem, I thought. Took clear pictures of both sides and uploaded them through their portal. Two weeks later, I got another email saying my verification was rejected because the "images were unclear" and to try again. So I took even better photos with better lighting, made sure there was no glare, and sent them again. Fast forward to September, ANOTHER email saying my verification failed because they "couldn't read some information" on my ID. I'm super careful this time - used a scanning app on my phone, made everything crystal clear, and resubmitted. Now it's October, and guess what? Just got ANOTHER email saying I need to resend my ID verification! I've called the regular unemployment number like 25 times and can never get through to an actual person. I'm almost 3 months without income now, bills are piling up, and I'm about to lose my apartment. Has anyone managed to actually get hold of a real person who can help with this ridiculous verification loop? Any special number I should call instead of the main line?

Eight weeks of ny unemployment backpay stuck because of 'under review' teaching documents

This is getting ridiculous! I've been trying to get my backpay for almost 8 weeks now. I work as a substitute teacher on a per diem basis, and my unemployment account technically expired last Monday. I submitted all my teaching documentation weeks ago, but they're still sitting 'under review.' Called last Tuesday and the rep told me to call back Friday to get my account expedited. So I called today and now they're giving me a completely different story! They say they can't release ANY money while documents are under review and I should call back when a full 12 weeks passes (that would be October 7th). Has anyone dealt with this before? Should I just keep calling until I find someone who will actually help me, or am I wasting my time? I'm seriously frustrated with this whole process.
