How to check New York Unemployment claim status online?
I filed my claim and need to check the status. I keep logging into my account but cant find where to see if my claim was approved or not. The website is so confusing. Anyone know where to look on the website to find claim status?

You gotta log into your account and click on 'Unemployment Services' then look for 'View Payment History'. That shows your payment status and if your claim is approved. But sometimes it takes a few days to show up there after you file.

I was having the same problem trying to check my status. I ended up using claimyr.com to get through to an agent on the phone. It costs $20 but they handle the hold time and got me answers right away. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The system is total garbage rn. Been trying to check my status for 2 weeks straight. Their tech team needs to get it together fr fr 🤮

Here's what you need to do: 1. Log in to your NY.gov ID account 2. Click on 'My Online Services' 3. Select 'Unemployment Insurance' 4. Look for 'View Payment History' 5. Check 'Claim Status' section If nothing shows up after 3 business days, you probably need to call them. I recommend using claimyr.com to get through - saved me hours of hold time. Also make sure you're certifying weekly while waiting for approval. Keep screenshots of everything just in case.
