Just want to add that even after you submit your application, you MUST file your first weekly claim within the same week or you'll lose that week's benefits. Don't wait for approval - start filing weekly claims immediately after your application is submitted.
The system is designed to make it as hard as possible to get help when you need it most. I went through this same runaround when my benefits ended and it took MONTHS to get a straight answer about whether I could refile. By then I was already behind on everything.
The whole system is so unnecessarily complicated! Like why do we need federal AND state taxes for unemployment? Just make it simple for crying out loud. No wonder people get confused about what affects what.
I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months trying to resolve an adjudication issue and I can confirm - no credit impact whatsoever. Actually, if you're having trouble getting through to them by phone to check on your claim status, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get connected to agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of trying to call.

I had a really hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my claim got stuck in adjudication. Someone on here recommended this service called Claimyr that actually gets you connected to real agents. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me weeks of frustration trying to call on my own.

•Is that legit? Seems too good to be true if the phone lines are really that bad.

•Yeah it's real, they basically handle the calling and waiting for you. Was skeptical at first but it actually worked when I needed to check on my claim status.

just apply online and file your weekly claims every week no matter what. even if your claim is pending or in adjudication you need to keep certifying or you'll lose those weeks of benefits
