Can I return to New York Unemployment if I fail job probation period?

If you get fired during probation its gonna depend on why they let you go. If its for misconduct you might not qualify. But if its just not being a good fit, you should be able to reopen your claim and continue collecting whats left 🤔

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at unemployment to ask about this stuff. Used this site claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold then connect you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but worth it cause you get real answers. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Yo I've been there! Failed my probation at a warehouse job and was able to go back on UI. Just be honest when you certify and explain the situation

Make sure u keep track of ur hours worked and last day. UI gonna ask for all that info when u try to reopen the claim

Here's the full breakdown of what you need to know: First, make sure you stop certifying as soon as you start the new job. If you get terminated during probation: - File to reopen your claim immediately - Document everything about the termination - Be prepared to explain why you were let go - Have your dates of employment ready - Keep all pay stubs and employment documents If you need to talk to someone, use claimyr.com to get through to an agent fast. Way better than calling for hours. The key is being honest about everything. As long as you weren't fired for misconduct, you should be able to resume your remaining benefits. Just remember your benefit year end date - that's when everything expires regardless of money left.

probation periods are such bs fr. companies just use it to avoid giving benefits smh 🤮

Just went through this exact situation last month! Got let go during my 90-day probation at a retail job and was able to reopen my claim no problem. The key things that helped me: 1. I stopped certifying the week I started work (super important!) 2. When I got terminated, I immediately went online and reopened my claim 3. Had to do a phone interview where they asked about why I was let go - just be honest 4. They asked for my start/end dates and final pay info Since it was just "not a good fit" and not misconduct, they approved me to continue with my remaining benefits. The whole process took about 2 weeks from reopening to getting my first payment back. Pro tip: if you need to talk to someone, don't waste time calling - use one of those callback services. Worth every penny to avoid the hold times!

Been in a similar spot before - the good news is you can definitely return to your remaining benefits if things don't work out during probation. Just make sure you're documenting everything from day one at the new job (emails, performance feedback, etc.) in case you need it later. And definitely stop certifying for benefits the moment you start working! That's crucial. If you do get let go, you can reopen your claim online pretty easily as long as it wasn't for misconduct. The probation period thing actually works in your favor since most terminations during that time are just "not a good fit" rather than misconduct.
