Does ny unemployment BYE date mean I can't certify anymore or just my last day to claim?

Your BYE date (8/21) means that's when your claim year ends. You can still certify for the week ending on that date, but after that you'll need to file a new claim. Since you're working part time now, you might qualify for a new claim with a different weekly benefit amount based on your earnings in the last 18 months. The system should prompt you to reapply when you try to certify after your BYE date.

When my BYE date hit, I couldn't get through to anyone for weeks. Kept calling the 1-888 number with no luck. Finally I tried this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me a callback with an actual agent within a couple hours! Talking to the agent got my benefits flowing again so fast. Seriously was the best solution after days of frustration. Check out this video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I just went through this last month! So the BYE date is the end of your benefit year. You'll need to file a new claim after that date - don't worry, the system walks you through it. Since you're working part-time, they'll calculate a new weekly benefit amount based on your earnings in the last base period. Be ready with all your employment info.

The NY unemployment system is such garbage. I had the same question when my BYE date came up. Tried calling for DAYS with no answer. finally just filed a new claim online and it eventually went through. took almost 3 weeks to start getting payments again tho 😡

After your BYE date, you gotta file a whole new claim. It's annoying af but that's how the system works. They recalculate your benefits based on your most recent work history. If you've been working part time that'll factor into your new weekly amount. It's a complete restart of the process - not an extension.

I've been through the BYE date process a couple times with ny unemployment during the pandemic. Here's what happens: - Your BYE date is the last day of your current claim - You CAN certify for the week that includes that date - After that, the system will tell you to file a new claim - They'll review your work history for the past 18 months - If you've worked enough quarters, you'll qualify for a new claim - If you haven't worked enough, you might not qualify for a new round - The process can take 2-3 weeks to process Since you've been working part-time, you'll definitely have some wages in your base period, which is good news. Just be prepared for possibly a lower weekly benefit amount based on your current wages. If you have trouble getting through to anyone when filing your new claim (which is super common), I'd recommend using claimyr.com - it's a service that gets you a callback with an actual agent instead of waiting on hold forever. Worth every penny when I was dealing with my claim issues!

dont panic! Just file a new claim after ur BYE date. The system will tell u what 2 do. just keep certifying like normal and it'll prompt u 2 file a new claim when the time comes.

BYE date = end of your benefit year. You gotta file a whole new claim after that, based on your most recent 18 months of work. Since you've been working part-time, you should qualify for something, but probably at a lower amount than what you're getting now.

So many wrong answers here!!! 🤦‍♀️ The BYE date doesn't automatically mean you need to file a new claim! If you're on regular UI (not extensions) then yes you need to reapply. But if you're on any kind of extension program, you might continue without filing a new claim. Best thing is to CALL and find out your specific situation.

just went through this! after BYE date you file new claim, but warning: took me 6 WEEKS to get approved again 😱 system is broken af
