Filed for unemployment 2 months ago and verified my identity through ID.me but still haven't received any payments. They keep telling me I need to do ID.me even though I already completed it. Called unemployment 5+ times and two weeks ago they said money would come in 1-2 weeks but still nothing in my account. Anyone else dealing with this or know what to do?
Classic NY unemployment nonsense. Try calling right when they open at 8am, sometimes works better
tried that for 2 weeks straight no luck fam ๐ญ

Contact your state assembly person! They can actually help push things through. Google your district representative and email their office
thank u will try this!! anything is better than these phone loops

I know its frustrating but DO NOT create a new account! that will only make things worse and flag you for more fraud reviews. just keep trying to reach them.
Here's what you need to do step by step: 1. Keep a copy of your fraud form submission (screenshot or confirmation number) 2. Call using claimyr.com to get through to an agent - regular phone lines are impossible 3. Have ready: SSN, old W2s, any old claim info you can find, proof of identity 4. Ask specifically for the PIN reset department 5. If first agent can't help, ask to speak with a supervisor I went through this exact thing last month. The system is ancient and terrible at handling old claims, but there are people who can fix it. Don't give up! claimyr.com saved me hours of hold time.
thank you! super helpful. gonna try claimyr tomorrow morning

The unemployment website at applications.labor.ny.gov isn't loading at all today. Getting server errors and can't even get to the login page. Safari is showing "Safari can't open the page because it couldn't connect to the server." I've been trying all morning with different browsers but keep getting the same error. I need to certify my benefits this week and the deadline is approaching. Anyone else having this issue with the New York Department of Labor website or know what's going on? Is there any scheduled maintenance that wasn't announced? I've tried clearing my cache, using incognito mode, and even my phone's data connection but nothing is working.
Here's what you can try: 1. Clear browser cache and cookies 2. Try incognito mode 3. Check if your internet is stable 4. Try a different device 5. If nothing works, you'll need to call them The phone lines are always jammed but claimyr.com can help get through. They'll wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up. Costs money but worth it when the website is down like this. Also follow their Twitter for system updates - they usually post when there are widespread issues.

Just completed my unemployment phone interview yesterday, filed claim end of May. Got a text from NYS DOL today at 2:08 PM saying: "Your unemployment insurance (UI) benefits claim can now be paid. More information: https://on.ny.gov/uipay" I filed my claim at the end of May and had to wait until yesterday for my phone interview. Now that I've gotten this text message confirmation that my claim can be paid, I'm wondering how long until I actually see the first payment hit my account? The text doesn't give any timeframe, just says it "can now be paid" and provides a link for more information. Has anyone else gone through this process with NYS Department of Labor recently? How long after receiving this specific text message did you receive your first UI payment? I'm trying to plan my budget accordingly since it's been almost a month since I initially filed.
lmao took me 3 months to get my first payment... ny unemployment system is such a joke fr fr ๐คก
fr tho the whole system needs an upgrade

Make sure ur bank info is entered correctly in ur payment options. I typed one wrong number and it delayed everything by weeks smh
double checked and its all good!

Have you tried reaching out to your state representative? They can sometimes help speed things up with unemployment issues.
