How to get NY unemployment payment stubs for verification? Can't find them online

they dont have actual paystubs like from a job. just print the payment history page and it should work. thats what i did

i went thru this nightmare last year!! the whole system is designed to make u feel crazy. there aren't actual "paystubs" but you CAN request a benefit payment history statement! Go to your account, then click on "Payment History" and then look for "Print 1099-G" (even if you don't need the tax form). On THAT page there should be an option to request a formal payment history statement.

You need to request an official Benefit Payment History statement. This is different from just viewing your payment history online. Here's how to get it: 1. Log into your NY.gov account 2. Go to the Unemployment Insurance section 3. Select "View Payment History" 4. At the bottom of that page, there's a link to "Request Official Payment History" 5. Complete the form with your information 6. They'll mail you the official document within 7-10 business days This official statement includes your name, address, weekly benefit amount, and payment history - everything the rental office would need.

I went through this exact same thing in February! The NYSDOL website is SO confusing and finding anything is impossible. I tried calling for three days straight but could never get through to an actual person. Ended up using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an agent - took like 20 minutes instead of days of trying. The agent was able to generate and email me an official payment statement right on the call. You can see how it works in their demo video: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE Saved me from potentially losing my apartment!

Just want to mention something - I got one of those statements last month and it came in 3 days, not the 7-10 they say on the website. So maybe you'll get lucky too!

There's another option that many people don't know about. You can request a "Monetary Determination Letter" which shows your weekly benefit amount and your total benefit entitlement. This is often acceptable for proof of income purposes. To request this: 1. Call the NYSDOL at 888-209-8124 2. Use the automated system to request a duplicate of your Monetary Determination Letter 3. This can be mailed to you or in some cases emailed if you have email set up in your account preferences Also worth noting that if you've already received benefits for several weeks, your bank statements showing the deposits can sometimes serve as supplementary documentation for your rental application.

I had to do this for a car loan in January this year and it was SUCH a hassle!! I waited 2 weeks for the letter to arrive and it never came. Had to start all over again. The entire NY unemployment system should be completely rebuilt from scratch!!!! Why can't they just have a button that generates an official PDF that you can download instantly??? Every other modern system works this way. So frustrating.

wait i just remembered my friend had to do this and she went to the unemployment office in person and they printed it for her right there

So did you get your documents? Which method worked best?
