try reaching out to your state senator's office if it takes too long. worked for me when i was stuck in pending for over a month
Look I've been working with ny unemployment for years and here's what you need to know: The notification system is completely unreliable now. Some get texts, some get emails, some get nothing until the letter arrives. Best thing to do is: 1) Check your payment history daily on the website 2) Make sure your address is correct 3) If you really can't wait, use claimyr.com to get an agent on the phone - they'll tell you the determination right away. Just remember determinations can take 2-4 weeks to process normally.
use claimyr.com instead of wasting time on hold. worked for me!
Make sure you have good phone reception wherever youll be taking the call. My friend lost his case cause he kept cutting out and missing important questions 🤦♂️
Had my hearing last month. Here's what helped me win: - Organized all my pay stubs and w2s - Had my termination letter ready - Wrote down timeline of events - Practiced explaining my side to family member - Called NY unemployment (used claimyr.com to get through) to verify my hearing time - Stayed professional even when frustrated Unless its a complicated case or huge amount of money, lawyer probably not needed. The judge was actually super fair.
Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: Before Starting Work: - Print/save all payment history - Screenshot your remaining days - Complete final certification accurately During Contract: - Keep all pay stubs - Save contract details/emails - Don't certify while working After Contract Ends: - If within benefit year, restart certifying - If benefit year expired, file new claim - Use claimyr.com if you need to reach an agent Tip: Keep checking your unemployment inbox weekly even while working. Sometimes they send important notices you don't wanna miss.
