New York Unemployment payment stuck on pending since November - no response from department

Filed my unemployment claim back in November and still showing pending status. Did everything right - submitted all docs, certified weekly, still nothing. Last year lost 12 weeks of benefits that were stuck pending too. Can't get anyone on the phone to help. Anyone know what's going on or have a way to actually reach someone?

have u tried messaging them on twitter? sometimes they respond faster there

I got approved for unemployment at the end of November after being laid off in October. Been certifying every week but haven't gotten any payments yet. Starting a new job in January - will I still get the backpay for November and December?

Received first NY unemployment payment on Saturday, but still waiting for additional $504 payments released on 7/28 - should I call Way2Go?

Just got approved last week and received my first unemployment payment on Saturday. I certified on Sunday like normal but haven't gotten anything this week yet. The payment history shows my first payment but nothing new. Looking at my payment history on the NY unemployment website, I can see several payments: Week Ending | Total Amount | Net Amount | Effective Days | Release Date 07/23/2023 | $504.00 | $504.00 | 4 | 07/28/2023 07/16/2023 | $504.00 | $504.00 | 4 | 07/28/2023 07/09/2023 | $3.50 | $3.50 | 4 | 07/28/2023 07/02/2023 | $0.00 | $0.00 | 4 | 07/26/2023 07/09/2023 | $500.50 | $500.50 | 0 | 07/28/2023 My first payment of $500.50 for the week ending 07/09/2023 was released on 07/28, which I received on Saturday. I was expecting the $504 payments to hit my account by now too. The website says "If three days have passed since a payment was released and the funds are not in your account, you should contact the Way2Go Program Customer Service line at (844) 649-9845 if you have a debit card. If you have direct deposit, contact your bank. If there is a holiday in a given week, payments may be delayed by one day that week." Anyone else experiencing delays or know what's going on? Should I wait another day before calling the customer service number?

ny unemployment system is such a joke rn... been seeing lots of ppl with similar issues lately

New York Unemployment: Called Every Day for a Month - Can't Submit Claim or Reach Anyone

Im exhausted from calling every single day. Been trying to file my claim since last month. The automated system just hangs up on me or tells me to call back later. Called at 8am, 12pm, 3pm - doesn't matter what time. Anyone else dealing with this or know how to actually get through to someone?

Listen up everyone - heres what actually works. I used to work for the unemployment office. The phone system is overwhelmed but there ARE ways to get through: 1. Best times to call are Tuesday-Thursday (avoid Mondays!) 2. Try between 10:30-11:30am or 2:30-3:30pm when lunch shifts change 3. Have all your info ready when you call 4. If you need immediate help, use claimyr.com - yes it costs money but it works 5. Keep detailed records of all your call attempts Dont give up, eventually youll get through!

New York Unemployment: laid off twice in one year - when do benefits reset?

Got laid off back in January and collected unemployment until July when I found work. Now just got caught in another mass layoff and filed a new claim. The system shows I only have 5 effective days left. Does anyone know how this works with multiple layoffs in the same year? Really need to know when my benefits reset.

Important info for your situation: You need to have earned 10x your benefit rate in covered employment since filing your last claim AND worked in at least two calendar quarters. Sounds like you should be good since you worked July-December. Just use up those 5 days and then you can file fresh when your benefit year ends.
