Can I start a new unemployment claim before my current one runs out?

I found a way to solve NY unemployment claim issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr-clj6TSo0

From what I know, you gotta wait till your benefit year ends before you can file a new claim. It's usually a year from when you first filed. Check your paperwork or online account to see when that is. Sucks, but that's how it works 🤷‍♂️

Hey guys, I found a method to get someone on the phone at ny unemployment. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I've been in ur shoes, OP. Heres what I learned: You cant start a new claim until ur current benefit year ends. BUT, if u worked during ur claim and made enough $$, u might qualify for a new claim when ur current one runs out. Either way, start applying for jobs NOW. Dont wait till the last minute!

This system is so messed up. They make it impossible to get help when you need it. I've been trying to reach someone at ny unemployment for weeks. It's like they don't want us to get benefits we're entitled to 😡

Listen up, folks. Here's the deal with NY unemployment claims: • You can't start a new claim until your benefit year ends. That's typically 52 weeks from when you first filed. • If you worked during your benefit year and earned at least 10 times your weekly benefit rate, you might be eligible for a new claim when your current one ends. • If you're nearing the end of your benefits, start job hunting NOW. Don't wait! • Can't get through on the phone? Try using claimyr.com. It's a service that calls for you and connects you when an agent is available. Costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. • Keep certifying weekly, even if your benefits are about to run out. • Check your online account regularly for updates or messages. Remember, every situation is unique. When in doubt, try to speak with an ny unemployment rep directly. Good luck!

lol good luck getting any1 on the phone at ny unemployment. Might as well try to win the lottery 🤣

Has anyone had luck with the callback feature on their website? I requested one last week and still haven't heard back 😕

Pro tip: If ur benefits r running out, look into other assistance programs. Food stamps, rental assistance, etc. Don't wait till ur completely broke to start the process. Some of these take time to get approved.

Guys, I know it's tough but hang in there. I was in the same boat last year and it felt hopeless. But I finally found a job and things got better. Keep pushing!
