Certified after working some jobs but no dollar amount showing on ny unemployment

Yeah, this happened to me too! When your BYE date changes but no $ amount shows up, it usually means they're still processing your new claim. Mine took about 2 weeks before any amounts appeared. Keep certifying every week though! Once they approve it, you'll get backpay for all those weeks.

After banging my head against the wall trying to reach someone at ny unemployment, I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to a real person! They called and stayed on hold, then connected me when an agent picked up. Talking to a real agent solved my issue when my benefits had a similar problem. Best decision I made - got my payments flowing again within days. Check out this video if you're interested: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

It means your claim is under review. Since you worked during your benefit year, they have to recalculate your benefit amount based on those earnings. DON'T STOP CERTIFYING even though you're not seeing a $$ amount. Once approved, they'll pay all weeks you certified for. If nothing happens after 3-4 weeks, you need to call them.

The NY unemployment system is such a joke. I had this exact problem back in November. Called 47 times before getting someone who told me it was a "system flag" because I had reported work. Had to wait another 2 weeks after that for the money to show up. Keep certifying and document EVERYTHING.

After you do temp work and report it, the system automatically flags your account for review. They need to make sure you're still eligible with your new work history. Unfortunately this process takes forever becuz the dEpArTmEnT iS uNdErStAfFeD 🙄 Keep certifying weekly and eventually it'll sort itself out.

I work as a career counselor and see this issue all the time with clients. Here's what's happening: When you file a new claim after working intermittently, the system puts your claim in a review status. The BYE date updates immediately (that's automatic), but the benefit amount needs manual review by a claims examiner. They're checking: 1. Whether your temporary work qualifies as "covered employment" 2. If your earnings affect your weekly benefit amount 3. Whether you've earned enough to establish a new valid claim The most important thing is to KEEP CERTIFYING WEEKLY. Document all your certifications with screenshots. You have three options: 1. Wait it out (could be 2-6 weeks) 2. Call the claims center directly (good luck getting through) 3. Use a service like claimyr.com to connect with an agent who can expedite review From my experience, getting a human on the phone is absolutely the fastest way to resolve this. When you do reach someone, ask specifically for a "claim review" and mention that your BYE updated but no monetary determination appears. Don't stop certifying no matter what!

Just FYI - when you file a new claim after working, they look at your base period earnings again. If you didn't earn enough in your new base period, your benefit amount might be $0. Might wanna check if that's what happened?

When this happened to me back in February, I tried waiting it out thinking the system would fix itself. BIG MISTAKE. Ended up waiting 6 weeks with no movement. Finally got smart and called them (used claimyr.com to get through) and the agent fixed it in literally 5 minutes. Apparently there was a "review code" on my account that needed manual removal. My advice: don't wait, call them ASAP.

The amount of technical glitches in the ny unemployment system is ridiculous. This happened to my roommate and turns out it was just a visual glitch! The money was actually being processed, but not displaying on the main screen. Check your payment history tab - sometimes it shows there even when the main page is blank.

lmao welcome to the wonderful world of ny unemployment where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up! 🤡 seriously tho, this exact thing happened to me. turns out they were "verifying my work history" which is code for "we're going to make you wait for no reason." took almost 3 weeks before my benefit amount showed up again.

Your new claim is probably in the dreaded "pending" status. The system updates your BYE date right away, but benefit amounts need review especially when you've reported work. Keep certifying and call them ASAP to get it pushed through faster. I waited 5 weeks last time hoping it would resolve itself and regretted not calling sooner.
