How long to get approved for New York Unemployment after submitting application?

took me about 4 weeks to get approved. Make sure you keep doing your weekly certifications even while waiting for approval, youll get back pay for those weeks once approved

I used claimyr.com to get through to an agent. It costs $20 but totally worth it because they dial and wait on hold, then call you when someone picks up. Check out this video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Took 6 weeks for me and had to verify identity thru [id.me](http://id.me). The whole system is a joke tbh 🤮

Here's everything you need to know about the approval process: First, make sure you've completed these steps: - Weekly certifications (don't skip these!) - Identity verification through id.me - All work history accurately reported - W2s and supporting docs uploaded Typical timeline is 3-6 weeks. If you haven't heard anything by week 4, you should try reaching them. Best way I found was using claimyr.com - they handle the calling and waiting on hold. If you get denied, appeal immediately! You have 30 days to appeal. Good luck! 💯

mine got approved in 2 weeks but my friend has been waiting 2 months... its really hit or miss tbh

Anyone else getting the 'pending' message for weeks? Starting to lose my mind here 😤
