I got denied unemployment after being laid off from my job. They said I didn't work enough hours or make enough money to qualify. How is this possible when I was laid off and didn't quit or get fired? Makes no sense that they can deny benefits when the company literally let me go.
Need to know if I can get unemployment after quitting my job due to becoming a caregiver. My partner got sick and I had to take care of the kids at home. Left my job back in October, been looking for work since then. Anyone know if being a caregiver counts as a valid reason to quit?
The system is so broken rn... good luck even getting someone on the phone to explain your situation properly
use claimyr.com - saved me hours of calling
My unemployment payment was released today and I have Chase bank. Anyone know how long it usually takes for the money to show up in my account? First time getting unemployment so not sure about the timing.
My daughter hasnt claimed benefits last week and still hasnt found work. Can she continue claiming benefits or does she need to start a new application? Really worried about this since she needs the money for rent.
Listen up because this is important! Missing a week isn't the end of the world, but here's what your daughter needs to do: - Log in to her account asap - When certifying, the system will ask about the missed week - Make sure she has proof of job searches for BOTH weeks - If the system gives her any issues, don't panic! Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent quickly - Document everything I work in HR and see this all the time. The key is staying on top of it and being honest in all responses. Better to fix it now than have issues later!
Been waiting for my unemployment payment for over 2 weeks now. Claim started mid-May, did my waiting week, certified properly, but still nothing in my account. Called the unemployment line multiple times but cant get through to anyone. Getting desperate here - bills are piling up. Anyone know how to actually reach a real person?

Here's what you need to know about NY unemployment qualification requirements: Base Period Requirements: - Must have earned at least $3,100 in base period - Worked in at least 2 quarters - Can use alternative base period if regular doesn't qualify If you need to appeal or discuss your case, definitely try claimyr.com to get through to someone. Way better than waiting forever. Also check if you have any wages from other jobs in your base period - everything counts! Don't give up, keep fighting for your benefits. The system is complicated but there might be options you haven't explored yet.
