New York Unemployment Direct Deposit Error After ID.me Verification - Need Help!
Been having issues setting up direct deposit after completing my weekly certification. The system keeps giving me an error after I finished the ID.me verification process. Everything went fine with uploading my ID, doing the face scan, and putting in my social - but at the final page it just errors out. Tried multiple times but keep hitting the same wall. Anyone else deal with this and figure out how to fix it?

New York Unemployment for Paraprofessional - When does BYE date mean benefits end?
My benefit year ending date shows June 2024. I work as a paraprofessional for an agency and I want to know if this means my benefits stop then and I need to reapply? Not sure how this works for education workers.

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
saving this for later fr fr 💯
No approval or denial letter after 7 weeks - New York Unemployment
Filed a claim back in August and still waiting for any kind of decision letter. Been seven weeks now without hearing anything back. Phone lines are always jammed. Getting really worried about the wait time. Anyone else waiting this long for a decision?

BRUH I waited 12 weeks before I finally got through. The system is completely busted rn fr.
12 weeks?? nahhh that's actually criminal 😤
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!
tysm for the detailed help! gonna try all of these

New York Unemployment claim on hold after missing meeting due to Covid - Will I get backpay?
Got covid and missed my required meeting. My claim got put on hold but I called and they removed the hold. Agent told me to keep certifying. Anyone know if I'll get the missed week during the hold? Also wondering when payments will start up again.

Pro tip: check your payment history on the website every morning. Sometimes they process stuff overnight and u might see pending payments before they actually hit ur account
good to know! what time do they usually update?
usually see updates around 7am EST

might be because of high traffic, everyone trying to certify on sunday/monday
