Has anyone actually been audited for their job search? I'm curious how thorough they are
Yikes, that sounds stressful. How long did the audit process take?
6M
About 3 weeks from when they first contacted me. Not fun, but manageable if you've kept good records.

Friendly reminder to everyone: don't forget to certify every week! Set an alarm on your phone or something. Missing a week can mess up your whole claim.
Learned this the hard way π Had to file a whole new claim because I forgot one week

Pro tip: set an alarm for exactly when ur claim ends and file the new one at 12:01 am the following Monday. Beat the rush!
This person ny unemployments π

Guys, I'm telling you, Twitter is the way to go. Tweet at @NYSLabor with your issue and they usually respond pretty quick. It's like their secret backdoor or sumthin
Quick question - did you report any earnings this week? Sometimes that can mess things up if entered incorrectly.
Nope, no earnings. Still completely unemployed π

This is why I always screenshot my certifications. Cover your a** with these clowns π€‘
Smart move. Gonna start doing that myself!

Have you tried reaching out to your local state representative? Sometimes they can help cut through the red tape.
lmao welcome to the club π€‘ ny unemployment is a circus and we're all just clowns trying to navigate it
ain't that the truth π we should start a support group or smthn

I had luck reaching someone by calling exactly at 7:59am and repeatedly hitting the option to speak to a rep. Took a few tries but I got through eventually!
This is the way. Early bird gets the... unemployment agent? π

Have you tried the ny unemployment Twitter account? Sometimes they respond faster there. Worth a shot!
Moving states while on unemployment is a NIGHTMARE. I did it last year and it took months to sort everything out. If you can avoid it, stay put until your benefits run out. Trust me, it's not worth the hassle.
Yikes, that sounds rough. Maybe I'll reconsider my plans. Thanks for the warning!

I second this. Moved from NY to FL and it was a total clusterfuck. Lost benefits for 2 months while they 'processed' my case. Never again.

Hey OP, for the Webex thing - try going to webex.com and clicking 'Join a Meeting'. Sometimes you can just enter your name and the meeting number (if you have it) without needing a specific login. Worth a shot if you're in a pinch!
Hey everyone, I'm having a real headache trying to upload my driver's license to id.me for verification. It's just not working at all. I remember people had this problem before, but I'm wondering if anyone's dealt with this recently? My buddy managed to get his through on a desktop computer, but I don't have that option. This whole process is eating up so much of my time. Anyone else struggling with this or found a way around it?
im in the same boat. been trying for days now. this whole system is a joke tbh. why cant they just make it work??? π€¬
Preach! π It's 2023, you'd think they could figure out how to make a website that actually functions

Hey OP, any luck yet? Keep us posted! We're all rooting for you to get through this bureaucratic nightmare πͺ
have u tried faxing them? I know it sounds old school but I heard it can work sometimes
What year is it, 1995? π€£ But for real, if it works, it works!

This happened to me too. Turns out there was an issue with my employer's response. Keep calling and ask specifically if there's any hold up on your claim. Good luck!
Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. They sometimes have direct lines to unemployment offices and can help push things along.
This! My assemblyman's office was super helpful when I had issues. Def worth a shot.

Yo, make sure you appeal if they say you're not eligible! You got rights, don't let em push you around. I appealed and won after they initially denied me. Fight the power! β

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure your husband keeps documentation of everything. Severance letter, pay stubs, all of it. ny unemployment might ask for proof later and its a pain if you don't have it handy.

I swear, dealing with unemployment is like playing 4D chess while blindfolded. And the chess pieces keep changing shape. And the board is on fire. Good luck, OP! π₯βοΈπ΅βπ«
