Has anyone done ID.me verification for NY unemployment and not gotten confirmation?

Yeah I had to do this back in October. The whole ID.me thing is super frustrating because they don't tell you what's going on. For me it took like 3 days to get the confirmation email, but then my payment came through the next day. I was freaking out too, but it eventually worked. Try checking your spam folder too, mine ended up there.

After fighting with the ny unemployment system for WEEKS with no luck getting through, I finally tried this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual agent who fixed my ID verification issue in minutes! Talking to an agent got my benefits released in 2 days instead of waiting weeks. The video explains it better than I can: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE - seriously was the only way I could talk to a real person who could help.

I did ID.me last week. No email confirmation either, but my payment processed anyway 2 days later. I think they dont always send the emails. Check your payment history on the ny unemployment site instead of waiting for an email.

So the ID.me thing is weird because they're a third party working WITH unemployment but not actually part of the system. I had to do this twice somehow?? The first time it didnt work and I had to call and have them reset it. Did you verify with a video call or just documents? The video call way seems to work better.

THIS IS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS: ID.me verification for NY unemployment typically processes within 24-72 hours. Many people don't receive email confirmations despite successful verification. Here's what to know: • ID.me and NYSDOL systems don't always communicate instantly • Your account might show pending until the next business day even after successful verification • You DON'T need to complete verification again unless specifically instructed • If verification fails, you'll usually get an email about that specifically • The best indicators are: your payment status changing from pending to released, or your ability to certify next week without being redirected If it's been more than 3 business days with no change, you probably need to speak with an agent. This is where most people get stuck because calling is nearly impossible. I recommend using claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you directly to an agent. It costs money but saved me weeks of waiting when I had a similar issue. Don't panic yet - most ID.me verifications go through even without confirmation emails. The system is overloaded but usually works eventually.

Anyone else notice how they ALWAYS make you do these ID verifications right when rent is due?? It's like they know exactly when to mess with your money 🤔

I never got an email from ID.me but my payment went through anyway. Their system is buggy af. But my friend had to do a video call with them when the automated system couldn't verify her. took forever but eventually worked.

Their entire system is broken, ID.me included. I'm so sick of it all. Been jumping through hoops for 2 months now. First they needed ID verification, then employment verification, then MORE ID verification. I swear they do this hoping people will just give up.

Same thing happened to me! No confirmation but my payment processed 3 days later. I think the system is just overwhelmed and they dont bother sending emails for successful verifications, only for failed ones.

Pro tip: if you dont hear anything in 2-3 days, call the ny unemployment fraud department directly instead of the main line. They pick up faster and can see if your id.me verification went through. Their number is sometimes easier to get through on.

Nyone else get an error when trying to upload documents to ID.me? The system kept crashing on me when I tried to upload my license. Had to use the app instead of the website to get it to work.

I had the same issue back in February. No confirmation email but my claim processed anyway. Don't stress too much yet - their communication is terrible but the system usually works in the background. If you're really worried, you can try reaching them on Twitter. They sometimes respond there faster than phone.

When did u submit ur verification? If it was on a Friday or weekend it won't process until Monday or Tuesday, thats what happened to me

id.me is GARBAGE. absolute GARBAGE. i had to try 6 times and then finally do the video call option. the worst part was when it finally worked I STILL didnt get a confirmation email lol. but my payment eventually went thru
