bruh just give up on ny unemployment honestly. been trying to get my issue fixed since november. system is broken af

cant u sue them or something? this is literally their fault if the breach was on their end

ny unemployment system is such a mess rn... good luck getting actual answers from them 🤮

just make sure u save like half that contract money for taxes, they dont withhold anything 👀

Your best bet is calling unfortunately. The website is basically useless for anything beyond weekly certification. If you dont want to spend days calling, use claimyr.com - worked for me last week

Look I worked for unemployment before (not anymore thank god lol). Here's the deal - regular UI benefits last 26 weeks from your initial claim date. Extensions might be available depending on the state's unemployment rate. The website won't show your end date clearly, but you can calculate it yourself: find your initial claim date and add 26 weeks. The system sends notice when you're getting close to exhausting benefits but sometimes these get lost. Best way is definitely to call and confirm. Use claimyr.com if you don't want to waste time on hold - we actually recommended it to people when I worked there because the phone lines are so backed up. Keep all your documents and screenshots. The system is old and glitchy, and sometimes info disappears.

these clowns need to fix their system... its 2024 and we still gotta jump through hoops just to talk to someone smh

anyone know if the governors office is still helping with these issues? heard they stopped

have u checked if ur eligible for long term disability thru work? might be worth looking into before ui

NY unemployment phone lines are impossible rn... took me 3 weeks to get someone on the phone 🤮

Yall need to email them instead. takes like 3 days but at least someone responds

Here's everything I learned trying to contact Way2Go (spent 2 weeks figuring this out): First, avoid peak hours (11am-2pm). Second, if your card is locked, use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up. Third, document everything. Fourth, if its fraud related press 2 instead of 1 in the main menu - different department but they can still help. Fifth, write down your case number if you get one. Hope this helps someone else stuck in this mess!

Here's what you need to know about NY unemployment qualification requirements: Base Period Requirements: - Must have earned at least $3,100 in base period - Worked in at least 2 quarters - Can use alternative base period if regular doesn't qualify If you need to appeal or discuss your case, definitely try claimyr.com to get through to someone. Way better than waiting forever. Also check if you have any wages from other jobs in your base period - everything counts! Don't give up, keep fighting for your benefits. The system is complicated but there might be options you haven't explored yet.

Tbh this happened to me too. Had to pick up doordash til I found another job 😤

pro tip: if u get thru to someone DONT HANG UP until everything is 100% fixed no matter what they say

anyone else's claim saying its pending for like 3 weeks now??

DONT RISK IT NOT REPORTING!! They check with employers and cross reference everything these days. Better to report and get less than commit fraud and get caught later 👀

make sure to print/screenshot your paystub for that day. sometimes unemployment will ask for proof later and its good to have records

Let me give you all the details on dealing with non-standard claims based on my experience working with NY unemployment claims: First, these cases typically take longer because they require manual review. The system is designed for straightforward layoffs, not complex situations. Best ways to speed things up: 1. Keep detailed documentation of everything 2. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent (saves hours of calling) 3. Ask specifically for a claim specialist when you get through 4. Follow up every 2 weeks 5. Document every conversation The key is persistence and proper documentation. Non-standard cases can take 2-3 months but stay on top of it!

anybody else getting error messages when trying to certify? systems been acting up all morning
