My unemployment account got suspended. Been trying to find a phone number for ID.me verification but cant get through anywhere. Already tried the regular unemployment number but they cant help with ID.me issues. Really need this fixed asap since I cant access my benefits.
FYI if u email your state representative sometimes they can help speed things up. worked for my cousin
Important info for severance situations in NY: - File claim immediately even if receiving severance - Report ALL severance payments accurately - Keep documentation of layoff date and severance terms - Use exact hours worked for last week - If you cant reach anyone, try claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent - Weekly certifications must still be done during severance period - Save all paperwork from employer Trust me, I went through this last year. Better to have everything documented from day 1.
Here's the official guide: When receiving severance, you should still certify weekly but report the severance as income for the week you receive it. After that week, if you receive no other income, continue certifying normally. Remember that severance might affect your initial eligibility period. If you're unsure about anything, best to speak with an agent directly. You can either keep calling the regular number or use claimyr.com to get through faster. Document everything and keep copies of your severance agreement handy.
