Got NY unemployment message "exhausted all benefits" for August 9-15 claim but only been on UI since May - Will I still get paid?

Same thing just happened to me last week. Don't panic yet - I still got paid even though I got that message. The system is all messed up right now. Give it 3 business days and check your payment history.

After weeks of getting that same error message and not getting anywhere with the automated phone system, I finally used this service called Claimyr that got me connected to an actual human at unemployment. Best money I've spent in months - fixed my issue in one call and got my backpay released. Check them out at claimyr.com or watch this video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This is probably because your benefit year is ending. Even if you haven't used all your weeks, your claim has a one-year time limit from when you first applied. You'll need to reapply for a new benefit year.

Did you get an email about this too or just the message when you certified? Sometimes they send important notices to your online message inbox in the NY unemployment portal. Check there!

Its 100% a glitch in there system. I had the same thing happen 2 weeks ago and my money still came thru. The NY unemployment website is held together with duct tape and prayers lol. Don't stress too much but if you don't get paid in 3 days you gotta call them.

I've been dealing with New York Unemployment for over a year now and here's what you need to know about this error: First, don't panic. This is a known system issue that's been happening since they updated their systems in July. Many people get this message but still receive their payments. If you DON'T receive your payment within 3 business days, you need to contact them. But good luck getting through the regular phone lines - they're completely overwhelmed. Here are your options: 1. Keep calling the main number hundreds of times (not recommended) 2. Email them through the portal (they take 2-3 weeks to respond) 3. Contact your state representative (can sometimes help) 4. Use claimyr.com to get connected to an agent (what worked for me) When I had this issue, I spent days trying to get through before using Claimyr. Got connected to an agent in under an hour who fixed the problem and released my payment. They're not free but considering I was about to miss rent, it was absolutely worth it. Hang in there - the system is frustrating but there are ways to fix this!

this happened to me in mid July and I called 53 times before getting through. they told me it was a system-wide issue affecting tons of people and fixed it while I was on the phone. payment came the next day normal

HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY GOTTEN THROUGH ON THE REGULAR PHONE LINE RECENTLY??? I've been trying for TWO WEEKS!!!! 😡😡😡

bro the state is trying to get people off unemployment now that things are opening back up. they're hoping you'll just give up and not fight it. DONT LET THEM WIN.

Check your payment history on the website - not just your bank account. Sometimes the payment will show as "pending" or "released" in the system before it hits your bank.

My neighbor works for NY unemployment (don't tell anyone lol) and said they've been seeing this error a lot lately. It's because they're transitioning some people between different benefit programs in the backend. Most people still get paid but some need manual intervention.

I wonder if this is related to the switchover they did when the federal programs ended? Even though those ended for new claims, people already receiving them were supposed to continue until their benefits ran out.

yo if youre still having this problem after a few days DM me, i know someone who can help get your claim pushed through faster

have u checked if ur actually on a diff benefit type than u think? regular UI is 26 weeks but some other programs are shorter. go to payment history and look at ur "type" column
