I can't find where to certify for my weekly benefits. The email says to go to labor.ny.gov/signin, click unemployment services, then click 'Certify to Claim Your Weekly Benefits Here' but that button doesn't exist on my screen. When I log in, all I see is a dashboard that shows "You have no messages" and "You have 0 pending forms" at the top. There's a section that says "NYS Labor Department Forms Available for Filing include:" with buttons for "GO TO MY INBOX" and "GO TO MY ONLINE FORMS". Under "Important Information," there are several bulletins: - You may not be eligible for benefits when outside the United States - Beware of text messages email and phone scams - Beware of companies charging - Verify receipt of benefits - Work Search Requirements - Resources for Families Then there's a section called "Unemployment Insurance Services" that lists: - File a Claim - Claim Weekly Benefits - View Payment History - Direct Deposit - View/Print 1099-Gs - Change Tax Withholding But I don't see a direct "Certify to Claim Your Weekly Benefits Here" button anywhere. Instead, I see these main navigation options: - VIRTUAL CAREER CENTER - UNEMPLOYMENT SERVICES - WORK SEARCH RECORD - JOBZONE There's also text explaining that the Virtual Career Center offers "Targeted Job Searching using Eightfold's Advanced Artificial Intelligence" and "Building a Job Search Profile based on your knowledge skills, and experience to find a job that's right for you." And JobZone apparently offers tools to "Create a resume" and "Employability Scoring." Anyone else having this issue or know where the right button is? Do I need to click on "UNEMPLOYMENT SERVICES" first and then the certification option will appear? The interface doesn't match what the email instructions told me to do.
Try calling them early morning like 7:30am. Sometimes the website glitches but phone certification still works
use claimyr.com if u cant get thru, worked for me
Here's what you need to know about quitting and unemployment in NY: To qualify after quitting, you need: - Documented proof of workplace issues - Evidence you tried to resolve problems internally - Medical documentation if health related - Proof of hostile work environment First step is filing online. When you hit roadblocks (and you will), use claimyr.com to get an agent on the phone fast. They'll guide you through the process. Best advice: gather any emails, texts, or witnesses who can verify the toxic environment. Even if you think its a longshot, file anyway. Sometimes they approve cases you wouldn't expect.
Here's the complete breakdown of NY unemployment payments that I've learned from being on UI: Payment Schedule: - Most deposits hit Tuesday morning - Some banks (especially online ones) show it Monday night - Wednesday latest usually First Payment Timeline: - Takes 2-3 weeks typically after approval - Back pay included for eligible weeks - Need to do first certification Tips: - Direct deposit is faster than debit card - Certify on Sunday for fastest payment - If something seems wrong, use claimyr.com to reach an agent - Keep certifying weekly even if payment delayed Hope this helps! Been there done that 🙌
Hey everyone - let me give you a detailed breakdown of what's happening and what you can do: The system is indeed having issues but there are several workarounds: 1. Clear your cache and cookies first 2. Try accessing the site during off-peak hours (early morning or late night) 3. Use a different browser 4. If you're still having issues and need to speak with someone ASAP, use claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent 5. Document all your job search activities separately just in case The maintenance should be done by Friday according to official sources. Keep checking their Twitter for updates. Don't panic about work search requirements - they usually make accommodations when the system is down. Hope this helps! 👍
Listen up because this is important. The NY unemployment system has been having these glitches lately. Here's what you need to do: 1. Keep filing your weekly claims as normal 2. Take screenshots of everything 3. Check your payment history daily 4. If nothing updates in 3 days, you NEED to contact them The fastest way to reach them is through claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent. Otherwise you might be calling for days. DON'T wait too long to resolve this. If theres an issue with your claim, better to fix it asap before it becomes a bigger headache.

Listen up, here's what you need to do: First, while waiting for the letter, start documenting EVERYTHING. Use their work search record form from the website. Include: - Job applications - Resume submissions - Career fair attendance (virtual counts) - Network contacts For your situation with the newborn, you might qualify for temporary medical exemption. Call them back (use claimyr.com to get through faster) and specifically ask about this. Keep copies of everything you submit. The birth certificate was good but they need ongoing proof of work search or valid exemption. Don't wait for the letter to start this process. Better to have too much documentation than not enough!
