How long after NY Unemployment says 'payment released' until it hits my account?

I found a way to solve unemployment payment release delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC4ibdt1qQo

It usually takes a couple of business days for the money to show up in your account after it says 'released'. Don't panic if you don't see it right away!

Hey, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at ny unemployment. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

In my experience, it hits my account the next business day after it says 'released'. But I bank with Chase, might be different for other banks 🤷‍♂️

Ugh, the ny unemployment system is such a mess. Why can't they just make it instant? It's 2023 for crying out loud! 🤦‍♀️

It depends on your bank too. Some process ACH transfers faster than others. I've had it take anywhere from 1-3 business days.

Pro tip: Set up direct deposit if you haven't already. It's way faster than waiting for a check!

Here's a detailed breakdown of the ny unemployment payment process: • Day 1: Payment is 'released' in the system • Day 2-3: ACH transfer is initiated • Day 3-5: Money appears in your account Factors that can affect timing: - Weekends and holidays - Your bank's processing speed - Any issues with your claim If you're really in a bind and need to speak to someone, I've had success using claimyr.com. It's a service that calls unemployment for you and connects you when an agent is available. Costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

am i the only 1 who refreshes their bank app like every 5 minutes when waiting for unemployment to hit? 😅

Just a heads up, if it's your first payment, it might take a little longer. The system can be slow to process new claims.
