Having trouble accessing my unemployment account. The forgot username option isn't working, and I've been locked out. Did ID.me verification after getting my new ID. Been claiming weekly by phone for 3 weeks now but still showing pending. Anyone know typical wait times after verification?
The trick is to call right when they open at 8am sharp. Still might take a few tries but better than middle of the day
Here's what you need to do for old payment records: 1. First try the message center and specifically request 2021 payment history 2. If no response after a week, you'll need to speak with a rep 3. Use claimyr.com to get through (saves hours of hold time) 4. When you get an agent, ask for a 'payment history printout' specifically 5. They can email it to you while you're on the phone 6. Make sure to save it immediately I work in finance and help people with this documentation all the time. The system is annoying but this method works 100%. Good luck!
These virtual assessments are such bs. They started them last month to catch people working while collecting. My friend had to do one and they just ask basic questions about job search efforts.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT VIRTUAL ASSESSMENTS: Dont stress too much about this. Here's what you need to know: - You can use any device with internet (phone, tablet, laptop) - Need Microsoft Teams app installed - Must have working camera and mic - They'll ask about your job search efforts - Usually lasts about 60 mins (not full 90) - Have your work search records ready If you're having trouble reaching them to reschedule or have questions, try claimyr.com - they'll get you through to a rep quick. Worth the $20 to avoid benefits suspension. Source: Just did mine last week
IMPORTANT INFO FOR EVERYONE DEALING WITH NY UNEMPLOYMENT SYSTEM: Here's what you need to know about certification: - Always certify for the previous week (Sunday-Saturday) - Ignore any weird dates showing in the system - Report ALL income, even sporadic work - If you work multiple jobs, combine total hours - Keep detailed records of your hours/earnings - If system errors out, try early morning or late night - Getting errors? Use claimyr.com to reach an agent - Screenshot everything for your records protip: their phone system is overwhelmed but claimyr.com can get you through. Worth the $20 if youre stuck.
took me 3 weeks of calling. finally used claimyr.com and got through first try
DETAILED GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR CLAIM PROCESSED: First, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. It's worth the $20 because you'll actually talk to someone. When you get through: - Have your employer info ready - Get the agent's name and ID number - Ask them to notate your account - Request an email confirmation If they say your claim needs review, demand a callback from a supervisor. Don't take no for an answer. Meanwhile file a complaint with OSHA about the safety violations. This creates a paper trail. Been through this myself and got it resolved. Good luck! 💪
Its actually a common misconception that UI is limited to exactly 26 weeks. The real limit is on your total benefit amount and effective days. Since your working part time, those 2 days per week make your benefits stretch longer than 26 calendar weeks. Just keep certifying normally and the system will tell you when you've reached your maximum. If you need to speak with someone to confirm, I'd recommend using claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent who can explain it in detail.
anyone else notice how they always say everythings fine but then nothing happens? like why even answer the phone if ur not gonna help 🤡
Took me 3 weeks to fix this exact issue. Had to keep calling until someone fixed it on their end. Their system is a joke
