Can you refile for unemployment after it runs out - NYS Department of Labor options?

You can potentially file a new claim if you've worked and earned enough wages since your original benefit year began. NYS Department of Labor requires you to have earned at least 10 times your weekly benefit rate in covered employment during your benefit year. If you haven't worked enough, you might be eligible for an extension in certain circumstances, but those are rare outside of emergency periods.

same boat here, ran out in december and been applying everywhere but no luck yet

Check if you qualify for other assistance programs while you continue job searching. You should also make sure you're meeting all the work search requirements if you do become eligible for a new claim later. Keep documenting all your job search activities - you'll need detailed records.

I had this exact problem last year trying to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor to ask about refiling options. The phone lines are impossible and the online chat never works. I ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real agent who explained my options. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me weeks of frustration trying to get answers.

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.

just keep applying to jobs and hope something comes through soon, thats all any of us can do really
