Confused about random mail from ny unemployment after filing 1099G weeks ago

Same thing happened to me. Filed my 1099G in January and then got like 3 different letters in April. One was just confirming what I already did online, another was asking for verification I already provided, and the third was some vague notice about my claim history. The unemployment system is so broken, they're probably just catching up on paperwork from months ago. I just ignored them since I already did everything they asked for online.

After spending HOURS trying to reach ny unemployment about similar issues, I finally found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me a callback with an actual human. Talking to an agent got my confusion cleared up in 10 minutes, and they confirmed the letters were just system delays. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent without losing my mind on hold.

The NY unemployment system is COMPLETELY BROKEN. I've gotten letters for things I filed 6 months ago. I've gotten duplicate letters on the same day. I've gotten letters telling me to ignore other letters they sent. It's a total clownshow 🤡

Don't ignore the mail!! I made that mistake and ended up having my benefits delayed for 3 weeks because they needed some additional verification. Even if you already did it online, sometimes their systems don't sync up correctly and you need to do things twice. It's stupid but that's how they operate.

This is normal for NYS unemployment. There systems are completley not connected so the online portal and the mail system run seperately. So even tho you did everything online, the mail system is still going to send you stuff. Its dumb but thats how it works lol. I always do both just to be super safe.

Let me break down what's happening here based on my experience working with government systems (not NY specifically, but similar): The unemployment system actually has multiple separate databases and processing systems that don't communicate well with each other. When you file online, that goes into System A. But the paper mail notifications come from System B. System B might be on a scheduled batch process that runs weekly or monthly, which is why you're getting delayed notifications. Your best course of action is to: 1) Keep copies of EVERYTHING - online confirmations, mail, etc. 2) Respond to mail requests even if redundant 3) If things get confusing, talk to an actual human at unemployment For the last part, don't waste days on hold. I used claimyr.com to get a callback within an hour instead of spending my whole day listening to hold music. Talking to a live agent is honestly the only way to get clear answers about contradictory notices. The system is badly designed but once you understand its quirks, you can navigate it.

im in the same boat. got weird mail in june for stuff i did in march. i called the unemployment office (took forever to get through) and they said just to follow whatever the most recent communication says. so dumb.

This happened to me too. One thing to check - log into your account online and make sure your contact preferences are set correctly. Sometimes they default back to mail even if you selected email/online.

Do NOT ignore those letters!!! Even if you've done everything online, their mail system is separate. My friend ignored some letters thinking he already did everything online and they ended up freezing his account for 'failure to respond' 😭

The 1099G situation was a mess this year. They sent out thousands with errors and then had to send corrections. Maybe that's what you're seeing? Check if the new forms have different numbers than what you originally filed.

just be gratefull your actually getting mail from them😂 I haven't heard anything about my claim in 2 months despiet calling every week!
