How long after determination letter and waiting week for NY unemployment payment?

I found a way to solve NY unemployment payment delays, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUncbDq9cck

It can vary, but in my experience, it took about 2-3 weeks after the waiting week to get my first payment. Hang in there!

I found a method to get someone on the phone. 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

Ugh, the waiting game is the worst 😫 I swear ny unemployment is designed to make us lose our minds

It took me about 10 days after the waiting week to see my first payment. But I've heard it can take up to a month for some people. The system is so backed up rn 🙄

Here's what I know about the ny unemployment process after your waiting week: • You should continue to certify for benefits every week, even if you haven't received a payment yet. • Typically, if everything is in order, you should see your first payment within 2-3 weeks after the waiting week. • Make sure to check your payment history on the NYSDOL website regularly. • If you don't see any movement after 3 weeks, it's time to try contacting them. • The fastest way to get answers is usually by phone, but it can be nearly impossible to get through. • I've heard good things about using claimyr.com to get through the phone lines if you're willing to pay a small fee. • You can also try reaching out via their social media accounts, some people have had luck there. Remember, every case is different, so these are just general guidelines. If you're really struggling while waiting, don't forget to look into local food banks or rental assistance programs. Hang in there!

lol good luck getting any straight answers from ny unemployment. might as well ask a magic 8 ball 🎱

Has anyone else noticed that the payment dates on the website don't always match when the money actually hits your account? Driving me crazy trying to budget!

Pro tip: if you're really stuck, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They sometimes have connections and can help push things along with ny unemployment.

I'm in the same boat, been waiting for 4 weeks now 😭 Starting to lose hope...

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Got my determination letter last week and just finished my waiting week. It's so nerve-wracking not knowing when that first payment will hit. From what I'm reading here, sounds like 2-3 weeks is pretty normal, but some people are waiting way longer. I've been checking the NYSDOL website obsessively every day 😅 At least we're not alone in this waiting game!
