Claimed on Tuesday but no payment date showing in ny unemployment history - help!

Same thing happened to me last month. The system is so broken lately. Have you tried calling right when they open at 8am? Sometimes thats the only time you can actually get through.

After trying to call for WEEKS with no luck, I finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected to an actual person at unemployment within an hour. Talking to a real agent got my payments unstuck literally the next day. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after wasting days trying on my own.

Check if you answered any questions differently this week. One wrong answer and they'll hold your payment for review. Happened to me when I accidentally clicked yes instead of no on the "did you refuse work" question.

Their systems have been having major glitches this month. Took 9 days for my last payment to process when it normally takes 2-3. Didn't have to do anything - it just suddenly appeared. Might just need to wait it out unfortunately.

I'm dealing with EXACTLY this right now. Certified on Sunday, usually see payment by Wednesday, but nothing is showing for this week. I kept checking payment history and the DOL website and there's nothing there - not even a pending transaction. Called 50+ times yesterday with no luck getting through. This is so stressful.

The trick is to call your local state assembly person's office. I was stuck for 6 weeks with no payment and no explanation. Called my assemblyman, and his office contacted DOL directly. Had my issue fixed in 3 days. They have special contacts at the unemployment office.

This is so stupid. The NY unemployment site is THE WORST. Every week its something different. Last month they randomly put my account on hold for "identity verification" even though I've been getting benefits for 6 months with no problems. Then took 3 weeks to fix it. I feel your pain 😩

Log out completely, clear your browser cache and cookies, and try logging back in. Sometimes the payment history doesn't update properly because of cached data. Happened to me twice - thought payment was missing but after clearing cache it showed up in history.

There are a bunch of different phone numbers for different issues. Have you tried the alternative numbers? The main line is always jammed but sometimes the specialty lines have shorter waits. I've had luck with the payment issue line: 888-209-8124. Try pressing different options when you call - sometimes option 2 then 1 has shorter wait times than others.

Try contacting them through Twitter DM (@NYSLabor). Sounds weird but they actually respond there sometimes when you can't get through by phone. Be sure to say you've already tried calling multiple times and include your claim info (but not your SSN or anything super personal).

Listen to me very carefully. DO NOT just wait for them to fix this on their own. I made that mistake and ended up waiting 5 weeks for payment. You need to actively get someone on the phone or your claim could be sitting in a digital pile somewhere. If you can't get through by calling yourself (which is likely), use a service like claimyr.com that will wait on hold for you. Their system is NOT designed to fix itself.

Here's what I know about the NY unemployment payment schedule from my 9 months on it: - If you certify on Sunday before 7pm, payment usually shows as "pending" by Tuesday and deposits Wednesday/Thursday - If you certify Monday-Friday, add 2-3 business days to the timeline - Sometimes end-of-month claims are delayed because of high volume - System maintenance (usually happens last weekend of month) can delay payments by 1-2 days - Holiday weeks often cause delays - Random "reviews" can hold payments without notice If it's been more than 5 business days since certification, you definitely need to talk to someone. Regular calling doesn't work anymore - I used claimyr.com when this happened to me and it was the only way I actually got through to fix my payment issue. Totally worth it after wasting days trying to call myself.

Sometimes the payment history page doesn't update even though the payment is actually processing. Have you checked your bank account for pending deposits? Often my bank shows the pending deposit before the unemployment site updates.

they always pull this garbage right when rent is due 😡 the whole system is designed to make us suffer

Have you checked if your benefit year expired? Sometimes you need to file a new claim after your BYE date even if you still have a balance showing. The system won't notify you - it just stops paying.

Send a secure message through the online portal. Go to your account and look for the "Messages" tab, then "Compose New". Select "Payment Question" from the dropdown. They sometimes respond faster to these than phone calls.

ofc their system is broken again 🙄 water is wet. But seriously go check r/NYunemployment - bunch of people saying theres a system wide delay this week affecting payments. Some people on there said payments are delayed 3-4 days because of a "system migration" whatever that means

I had this EXACT same issue about 6 weeks ago - certified on Monday, nothing showed up for over a week. Turns out there was some random flag on my account that needed manual review, but the system never told me about it. I finally got through using one of those callback services people mentioned here (used Claimyr after reading about it) and the agent cleared it immediately. Payment showed up the next day. Don't wait too long hoping it fixes itself - these delays usually mean there's something that needs human intervention. The automated system is garbage at communicating what's actually wrong.
