How to check when New York Unemployment benefits end on website?
Need help checking my remaining benefits online. The website is confusing and I can't find where to see my end date. I've been certifying weekly but want to know how many weeks I have left. Already tried looking through my payment history but that doesn't show the end date.

its impossible to see it on the website tbh. I called them after trying for weeks to figure it out online. They told me I had 3 weeks left when I finally got through.

I found an easier way to get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it instead of calling for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Check your monetary determination letter, should show your benefit year end date (BYE). Usually its 26 weeks from when you first filed.

PROTIP: Take screenshots of EVERYTHING. The website is trash and stuff disappears randomly. Save all your determination letters and payment history.

Your best bet is calling unfortunately. The website is basically useless for anything beyond weekly certification. If you dont want to spend days calling, use claimyr.com - worked for me last week

Look I worked for unemployment before (not anymore thank god lol). Here's the deal - regular UI benefits last 26 weeks from your initial claim date. Extensions might be available depending on the state's unemployment rate. The website won't show your end date clearly, but you can calculate it yourself: find your initial claim date and add 26 weeks. The system sends notice when you're getting close to exhausting benefits but sometimes these get lost. Best way is definitely to call and confirm. Use claimyr.com if you don't want to waste time on hold - we actually recommended it to people when I worked there because the phone lines are so backed up. Keep all your documents and screenshots. The system is old and glitchy, and sometimes info disappears.
