IMPORTANT INFO FOR 2024 CLAIMS: The process has changed significantly since 2020. Here's what you need to know: 1. Claims are now fully online through ny.gov 2. Weekly certification is mandatory 3. Work search requirements are strictly enforced 4. Benefits take 2-3 weeks to start 5. You must upload ID verification docs If you need help reaching someone, use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you with an agent. Saved me hours of frustration. DM me if you need more specific help!
Usually drivers license or state ID + ssn card works best. Sometimes they ask for birth certificate too
whatever you do DONT mess up your work search requirements. my friend got hit with an overpayment cause she wasnt keeping good records
its been 3 days already 😤
Let me break this down for educational workers: BYE date is when your claim year ends, but: - You might still have weeks left to claim - Must reapply after BYE even with remaining weeks - Educational workers often cant claim during scheduled breaks - Need to earn 10x weekly benefit in new base period - Must work in at least 2 quarters Best way to get accurate info is calling NY unemployment directly. Use claimyr.com to get through - saves hours of frustration. They handle the hold time and connect you to an agent. Document everything and keep certifying weekly while you sort this out!
This is super helpful! ty for the detailed explanation
BRUH I waited 12 weeks before I finally got through. The system is completely busted rn fr.
Here's what you need to do - this worked for me. First, double check your NY.gov account for any messages or requests for additional info. Sometimes they need more docs but the notice gets buried. Next, try reaching them through their social media, especially Twitter. If that doesn't work, use claimyr.com to get through on the phone - yeah it costs money but its better than waiting forever. Last resort is contacting your state representative's office. They can usually get things moving pretty quick. Don't give up!
