Confused about the final day to claim ny unemployment benefits before expiration

You need to claim for the week ending December 11th. The last day you can certify would be December 18th. Benefits for the week ending December 12th will be the last one. Good luck!

I was in the same boat last month, tearing my hair out trying to reach someone! Finally tried this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me a callback from a live agent within an hour. Best money I ever spent to finally get my benefits question answered. They have a video showing how it works too: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Yall the DOL website clearly says the last week you can claim for is the week ending December 11. You claim for that week on December 12-18. THAT is your last payment. They ain't cutting you off mid-week.

Look. The benefit week runs Sunday-Saturday. You certify for the PREVIOUS week. So if the program ends on the 12th (a Sunday), then the last week you can claim for is Dec 5-11. You'll certify for that week starting on the 12th. Hope that makes sense!

Here's what I know for sure about NY unemployment ending dates: The last payable week is the one ending December 11th (Saturday). You'll certify for this week starting December 12th (Sunday) through December 18th (Saturday). The confusion comes because you certify AFTER the week has already passed. So even though the program "ends" on the 12th, you're still able to claim for that final week (the week before it ended). I spent hours researching this and finally got through to a rep using claimyr.com who confirmed all this. They were super helpful and got me connected to someone who explained everything clearly. If you're still confused, I'd recommend using their service since trying to call directly is almost impossible these days. Also, make sure you keep certifying weekly until the very end, even if you're working part-time. You might still be eligible for partial benefits, and it keeps your claim active in case they extend the programs again (though that looks unlikely now).

Anyone else just get an email about this? Mine said last payable week is the one ending on the 11th, and we certify for that starting on the 12th like normal.

i was told dec 5th is the last week. period. thats what the lady on the phone told me after 2 hours on hold.

Just DONT MISS your last certification whatever it is!! I missed mine when benefits ended last time and had to go through hell to get that final payment. The system is not forgiving at all.

the most NY unemployment thing ever: nobody knows the actual answer and the website explains nothing 🤣

To answer your question: Yes, you'll claim on Sunday the 12th for the week ending Saturday the 11th. That's your final week of benefits. Don't forget to certify!

I was stressing about this exact same thing and finally used this service called Claimyr that got me through to an actual human at unemployment. They confirmed the last payable week is the one ending Dec 11th. You certify for it on Dec 12th like normal. Their website really helped me figure it out! claimyr.com

I think the confusion is that benefits END on the 12th, but that doesn't mean you don't get to certify for the week before. You certify on the 12th-18th for the week of Dec 5-11, which is the last payable week.

does anyone know what time the website opens for certification on sundays? I want to make sure i get that last payment in ASAP

i called unemployment 37 TIMES yesterday and couldn't get through. how is anyone supposed to get answers about this stuff??
