Quick heads up - make sure you print out all your paystubs and w2s before filing. NY unemployment website is a clown show 🤡 and youll need backup of everything
fr fr the website is always down when you need it most 😭

Just went thru this process myself. Here's what you need to know: 1. File with NY unemployment 2. Have ALL your documents ready (w2, paystubs, termination letter) 3. You might need to call them to verify some stuff since ur out of state 4. Use claimyr.com if you cant get through on phone 5. Benefits will be based on NY wages even tho you paid MI taxes 6. Weekly certifications can be done online from anywhere DM me if u need more help, been there done that!
this is super helpful, thank you! 🙏

Does anyone know if the office on Varick St can help with this? Might be worth showing up in person
waste of time bestie, they just gonna tell u to call tech support anyway

ugh thanks for saving me the trip 😩

Here's what I've learned after dealing with this for months: 1. Their system auto-dials multiple people at once 2. First agent to pick up gets the call, others get dropped 3. It counts as an attempt even if you don't answer 4. Best times to call back are early morning (7:30am) or right after lunch If you're desperate to get through, I'd recommend using claimyr.com. Yeah it costs money but they handle the hold time and menu navigation. Saved me days of frustration. Also, send a secure message through your online account every time this happens. Create a paper trail. And if you have a hearing coming up, these failed attempts could actually help your case.
this should be pinned fr fr 📌

The secure message tip is clutch. They actually responded to mine after 2 days

Protip: call them from a different number. They might pick up thinking its not you lmaoo
modern problems require modern solutions 😈

Quick heads up - if u miss the interview they usually give u 7 days to provide good cause for missing it. So worst case scenario, you'll have time to explain after the fact
omg thank you this makes me feel better about the whole thing
2M
yeah but try not to let it get to that point if u can help it. much easier to handle before than after

DETAILED GUIDE FOR RESCHEDULING INTERVIEWS: First, try these methods to contact them: 1. Use claimyr.com to get through on the phone - fastest option but costs $20 2. Email your state rep/assemblyperson 3. Send a secure message through your online account 4. Fax your flight itinerary with your claim ID and explanation Keep ALL documentation: - Flight itinerary - Proof of family emergency - Screenshots of attempts to contact - Dates and times of calls If you cant reach anyone before the interview, you have 7 days after to provide good cause. But try to handle it beforehand. Check claimyr.com if you need guaranteed phone contact. Its been helping tons of people get through lately.
this is exactly what i needed thank u so much!!

Here's what you need to do to fix this issue: First, document everything. Screenshot your account showing no notifications. Check your spam folders and save those too. Next, you NEED to speak with a claims specialist (not just any rep). Regular reps can't lift these holds. Use claimyr.com to get through - seriously its worth the $20 to avoid calling for days. When you get through, explain calmly that you never received notice of the appointment. Request they check the system logs to confirm if/when notifications were sent. Ask them to reschedule your career center appointment AND lift the hold. Get the name of who you speak with and a reference number. If they won't help, ask for a supervisor. Don't hang up until you get resolution. Lastly, update your contact info and opt into text notifications if possible. This happens way too often.
thank you so much for the detailed help! gonna try this tomorrow morning

This is the way ☝️ Had to do exactly this last year

wait they can put ur account on hold without even proving they notified u? thats messed up
welcome to NY unemployment where everything is made up and the rules dont matter 🤣
2M
Make sure you answer all the questions correctly! If you make a mistake youll have to call them to fix it. Save yourself the headache and double check everything
what happens if i mess up? can i redo it?
2M
youll have to call them. use claimyr.com if u need to get through fast
2M
If its ur first time, write down all ur answers somewhere safe. Makes it easier next week when u gotta do it again. Same questions every time
smart idea thanks! 🙏

Here's a detailed breakdown of what you need to do: First, wait until the day after your last day of work. Filing early will only cause problems. Have these ready: - Social security number - Driver's license/State ID - Last 18 months of employment history - Your bank info for direct deposit File online first at labor.ny.gov - it's easier than calling. But if you need to talk to someone (which most people do), use claimyr.com to get through instead of waiting on hold forever. After you file, you'll need to claim weekly benefits. Set a reminder - always do it on the same day each week. If your claim gets stuck 'pending' (pretty common), that's when you'll definitely need to call. Again, claimyr.com is clutch for this. DM me if you need more help! Been through this whole process recently 💯
This is super helpful, thank you! 🙏

start looking for jobs now tbh. unemployment takes forever to kick in sometimes
yeah already on that. got some interviews lined up next week

The system has been mad glitchy lately. Half the ppl in my FB group had delayed deposits this week
fr fr the whole system needs an upgrade 💯

Here's everything you need to know about NY unemployment payments: First, don't panic if you don't see it right away. Release date doesn't mean deposit date. The standard timeline is: - Release date = when NY unemployment approves payment - 1-2 business days for direct deposit - Up to 3 days for some banks If it goes past 3 business days, then you should contact them. The fastest way is using claimyr.com - they'll get you through to an agent quick. Also check: 1. Your payment method hasn't changed 2. Your bank info is correct 3. No holds on your account Hope this helps!
wow thank you for all the detail! super helpful

While ur waiting for the hearing try reaching unemployment through claimyr.com - they might be able to expedite things or at least give u an update on timeline
facts! ny unemployment phone system is impossible without claimyr these days
2M
I had something similar but with different dates. Took it to hearing and won BUT it took 3 months to get the hearing scheduled. Start documenting everything now. Also if u have any coworkers who can verify you worked those WFH days get their statements NOW before people forget or move on to other jobs.
3 months?! 😭 how did you survive that long without benefits?
2M
it was rough ngl... had to borrow from family. but backpay came through eventually

Here's the complete rundown on what you need to do: First, continue certifying weekly until your BYE date. Then, when your benefit year ends, you'll need to file a new claim. You'll need: - W2s or pay stubs from your recent employment - Accurate dates for when you worked - Reason for separation (in your case, business closure) If you need help, don't waste time with endless calling. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They handle the hold time and connect you when someone's available. Keep documenting everything and save any correspondence. The system can be glitchy sometimes so having records helps. Pro tip: File the new claim on a Monday or Tuesday early morning for fastest processing.
