How long after NY unemployment hearing will judge send decision?

I had my hearing in december and got my decision in the mail 3 weeks later. The judge ruled in my favor thankfully. Make sure ur checking ur mail everyday cuz they only send paper notices for this stuff. I think they say it can take up to 6 weeks but mine came faster. Good luck!

After getting nowhere with the unemployment office for weeks, I tried this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they got me connected with a live rep who helped me track down my appeal status. Turns out my decision had actually been made but never mailed to me correctly. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast. They also have this helpful video if you want more info: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

From my experience and what ive heard from others, 3-6 weeks is typical. My friend just went thru this in october and it took about a month. But the system is so backed up right now who knows

my desision took 8 weeks to come (this was in feb/march) and i had to call multiple times to follow up. The judges are WAY behind schedule because of all the appeals. if u need $$ fast u should look into emergency assistance programs while u wait.

It really depends on how complex your case is and how busy your particular judge is. Some areas of NY have fewer judges handling more cases. I've seen people get decisions in 2 weeks and others wait 2+ months. The law says they're supposed to issue a decision within 30 days, but that's more of a guideline than a rule they actually follow 😒

Here's what I learned from my own unemployment appeal process (which took forever): First, the timeframe varies wildly. In theory, ALJs are supposed to issue decisions within 30 days of the hearing, but with the current backlog, 4-8 weeks is more realistic. My decision took 5 weeks. Second, calling regularly helps. The regular phone lines are useless, but I had success using claimyr.com to get through to a live agent who could check on my status. Without that I'd probably still be waiting. Third, check your mail EVERY day. They only send paper notices for appeal decisions. Fourth, if it's been more than 6 weeks, contact your state representative's office. They can sometimes light a fire under the department. Fifth, prepare for either outcome. If you win, it could still take 1-2 weeks for payments to start. If you lose, you'll have 20 days to appeal to the next level. The whole system is frustrating, but hang in there! And definitely try to get to a live agent to check on your status - it made all the difference for me.

Don't hold your breath. I'm still waiting on mine from NOVEMBER 😡 The whole ny unemployment system is a complete joke

One thing nobody has mentioned - check your online account too. Sometimes the decision appears there before you get the mail.

The wait is different for everyone tbh. Mine took 37 days exactly (yes i counted every single day lol). The judge ruled that my company was wrong to deny me benefits. Waiting was the worst part but it was worth it in the end when i got that backpay. hope u get good news soon!

I won my appeal in september, it took exactly 4 weeks and 3 days to get the decision in the mail. Be prepared to wait but also dont lose hope! From what i've seen, judges tend to side with the workers more often than employers in these cases. The system is defiantly designed to be frustrating but hang in there
