Whatever u do dont waste time with the 800 number its completely useless

anyone try calling from a different area code? heard that might help get through faster

check ur spam folder maybe they sent u something important there. happened to me lol

ny unemployment website is straight garbage... been dealing with them since 2020 and nothings changed smh

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 😤

Listen up cause this is important: They usually schedule these appointments every 3-4 months but it varies. Keep ALL your job search records - minimum 3 job contacts per week. Document everything with dates, company names, position, how you applied, and any responses. They can ask for up to a year of records. Virtual appointments are available now too. If you miss an appointment, call them ASAP using claimyr.com cause getting through is impossible otherwise. Missing appointments without good reason can mess up your benefits fr fr.

got my first one after 4 months. wasnt bad at all just boring af 😴

ur gonna need mad documentation fam. they dont make it easy fr fr 💯

The system is so broken rn... good luck even getting someone on the phone to explain your situation properly

If ur getting locked out might be because ur using the wrong password too many times. Gotta wait 24 hrs before trying again

Check your spam folder, sometimes they email a link to access 1099G directly

make sure u set up direct deposit correctly. if not they'll mail u a debit card and that takes forever 🤮

Its always next day for me with Chase. Been on UI since January and literally never had a delay

just got my first payment yesterday! took exactly 4 weeks after that text. keep certifying!

anybody else notice how the website is always "under maintenance" when u need it most? 🤡

Pro tip: Set an alarm for Sunday morning and do it first thing. Never fails that way 💯

I work nights and this 7pm cutoff is the worst. Like why cant they just process everything at midnight? makes no sense

Listen up because this is important! Missing a week isn't the end of the world, but here's what your daughter needs to do: - Log in to her account asap - When certifying, the system will ask about the missed week - Make sure she has proof of job searches for BOTH weeks - If the system gives her any issues, don't panic! Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent quickly - Document everything I work in HR and see this all the time. The key is staying on top of it and being honest in all responses. Better to fix it now than have issues later!

bruh ny unemployment system is straight garbage fr acting like were supposed to know all these rules 🤡
