Does claiming later on Monday delay ny unemployment deposit by a day?

I always do my weekly certification early monday mornings (usually around 6-7am) and my benefits hit my account by Wednesday afternoon without fail. But this week I got caught up with some family stuff and didn't get around to certifying until almost 9pm on Monday night. Now I'm worried this will push my deposit back to Thursday. Does anybody know if certifying later in the day on Monday affects when the money actually posts to your account? Really need that money on Wednesday like usual to pay some bills.

You should be fine tbh. As long as you certified on Monday, the payment processing starts that night and usually takes the same amount of time. I've certified as late as 11pm on Mondays and still got paid by Wednesday afternoon. The system runs batches overnight so anything submitted during Monday should be in the same batch.

I think it depends on your bank too. Some banks process ACH transfers faster than others. Who do you bank with?

Yeah bank matters too. Credit unions sometimes take an extra day compared to big banks in my experience.

After struggling with the phone lines for weeks I finally found a solution that actually worked. Used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected to an actual human at unemployment in less than an hour. Got all my payment issues fixed in one call. Talking to an agent got my money released so quickly - best decision ever when I was desperate. Check out this video too: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

It calls unemployment for you and holds your place in line, then calls your phone when an agent picks up. No more endless busy signals or getting disconnected after waiting for hours. Seriously changed everything for me.

I was skeptical too but I was desperate after trying for 3 weeks straight. It actually connected me with a rep who fixed everything. You can watch the youtube video I linked to see how it works.

It might be delayed by a day. I've noticed when I certify after 5pm on Monday, I don't get my deposit until Thursday. The system does some processing overnight, and if you miss that cutoff it can push everything back. Not guaranteed though, sometimes it still comes Wednesday even when I certify late.

I always certify on Monday nights (usually around 8-10pm) and ALWAYS get my deposit on Wednesday by noon. I think as long as its done before midnight Monday you should be totally fine 👍

Here's what I know about NY unemployment payment timing: The system processes all Monday certifications in overnight batches. They don't process them real-time as they come in. So whether you certified at 7am or 11:59pm Monday, it all goes into the same batch processing that runs overnight Monday into Tuesday. The payment file then gets sent to banks on Tuesday. Most banks release the funds on Wednesday, though some smaller banks or credit unions might take until Thursday. This is about the bank's ACH processing, not really about when you certified on Monday. The ONLY way certifying late Monday would affect timing is if there's some kind of internal cutoff time we don't know about. But from everything I've seen and heard from the 100+ weeks I've been on unemployment on and off, as long as you certify before midnight Monday, you're in the same batch. If you're really concerned about timing, you might want to look into getting a direct deposit card that processes ACH payments faster. Also, if you ever have serious payment issues that need resolving, I found that using claimyr.com was the only way I could actually reach a human at unemployment who could help. Their system will call for you and connect you with an agent when one is available. Hope this helps and your payment arrives when expected!

I think you'll be fine. The ny unemployment website says they process all Monday certifications together. And 9pm isnt even that late tbh

The real issue is why does this crapshow of a system make us wonder about basic things like this? We shouldnt have to worry if certifying on monday night vs monday morn changes things. The ny unemployment site is so vague about everything 🤦‍♂️

It might come Thursday. Monday night certifications often hit my account Thursday morning instead of Wednesday. Their system is finicky like that. Set ur expectations for Thursday just to be safe.
