Listen up because I've been through this whole mess before. Here's what you need to know: First, double check your monetary determination letter. Sometimes the effective date is different from when you actually filed. The system won't let you certify before that date. If that's not it, here are other common issues: - Browser compatibility (use Chrome or Edge) - Your SSN might not be fully verified yet - System maintenance (happens randomly) - Claim review flag Best solution is getting an agent on the phone. Save yourself the headache and use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold for you. Otherwise you'll waste days trying to get through. Also make sure to screenshot everything and document all your attempts to certify. You'll need this if you have to backdate claims later.

unpopular opinion but the whole system needs to be rebuilt from scratch its literally held together with duct tape at this point 🤡

If ur having card issues u can also try going to any bank that accepts Way2Go and talk to them directly. Sometimes faster than phone 💯

BRUH their customer service is straight trash. Been trying to resolve an issue for weeks. Either fix the system or hire more ppl smh

Here's everything you need to know about first payments in NY: First 7 days is your waiting week - unpaid but required After that, payments usually process in 2-3 weeks Make sure to: - Certify EVERY week (Sun-Sat) - Keep good records of your job search - Have direct deposit set up - Check your spam folder for emails If you need to speak to someone and can't get through, try claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Don't stress if it takes a bit longer, the system is backed up rn 💯

check ur payment history on the website. sometimes they dont send email notifications but u can see if payment is pending there

took me 3 months to get approved after quitting but I got backpay. keep trying

ny unemployment system is straight 🤡 rn good luck

Make sure to get a doctors note stating that you need to pump regularly. Will help ur case big time with unemployment

Gather all ur evidence and head to claimyr.com to reach an agent. They'll tell u exactly what u need. I had to quit my job for different reasons but same process - got approved in 2 weeks

Let me break this down for everyone dealing with missed certifications: First, you MUST speak with a rep to fix this - no way around it. Your options are: 1. Keep calling the regular number (888-581-5812) but good luck getting through 2. Use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold for you ($20 fee but saves hours of frustration) 3. Try calling right when they open at 8am or just before closing at 6pm When you do get through, the rep can backdate your claim and process the missed payment. They might ask why you missed it - just be honest. Usually takes 2-3 business days for the payment to hit your account after they fix it. PRO TIP: Set reminders for weekly certification so this doesn't happen again. You can certify anytime between Sunday-Saturday but don't wait until the last minute! Hope this helps everyone in the same boat! 🙏

just went thru this last month. its gonna take forever to get someone on the phone but once u do its fixed pretty quick

just make sure u answer everything truthfully on those forms. they WILL check with both employers

Dont stress too much! Your new job is what matters here. The old job is just being petty tbh

this is why im moving outta NY... system is completely useless smh

Pro tip: screenshot EVERYTHING. Every confirmation number, every submission, every call time. You'll need it trust me

Ur gonna need to apply for different benefits fam. Here's what you should do: 1. Get medical documentation from your doctor about your condition and work limitations 2. Apply for NY State Disability Benefits - call them using claimyr.com to get through faster 3. Check Social Security Disability (SSDI) eligibility since you have extensive work history 4. Look into early retirement benefits 5. Consider supplemental security income (SSI) UI benefits usually max at 26 weeks in NY and extensions aren't available rn. But there are other programs to help! Don't give up 💪

im in literally the exact same boat except im 68. been trying to reach someone for weeks to figure out my options smh

Listen up y'all, here's what worked for me. First, document EVERYTHING. Every call, every message, every email. Then try these steps: 1. Call right at 8:01am 2. If that doesn't work, use claimyr.com (costs $ but works) 3. Contact your state rep 4. File a complaint with the DOL 5. Keep trying the callback feature on the website Don't give up! The system is frustrating but eventually you'll get through. I was in the same boat last month and finally got it sorted.
