Missed weekly NY unemployment claim today - can I still claim tomorrow and get paid?

ur fine, you have until midnight saturday to claim for the previous week. just do it tomoro

Yes, you can absolutely claim tomorrow. New York gives you the full claim week (Sunday through Saturday) to certify for your benefits for the previous week. Missing your regular certification day won't affect your payment as long as you certify within that window. The only potential issue is that since you're certifying a day later than usual, your payment might arrive a day later than you're used to, but it will process normally otherwise.

This happened to me a few weeks ago and I FREAKED OUT!! I called the NYSDOL helpline for like 3 hours trying to get through to someone because I was so worried. Turns out it wasn't a big deal at all, I claimed on Tuesday that week and still got paid, just a couple days later than usual. But what if this happens again and I have a more serious question?? Does anyone know how to actually reach a human at unemployment??

You have all week to certify but I always do mine Sunday night. One time I forgot and did it Tuesday, payment still came but it was 2 days later than normal. The system processes claims in batches based on when you certify.

i think u can do it online anytime during the week but i always do mine on mondays anyway bc the website is less busy. sundays the site is always laggy af for me

The certification window in New York runs from Sunday to Saturday for the previous week. You can certify any day during that window without losing benefits. However, the day you certify affects when payment is released. The DOL processes claims daily, so certifying on Monday instead of Sunday typically means your payment will arrive one day later than usual. If you normally receive payments on Wednesday, expect it on Thursday instead. Just make sure you don't wait past Saturday or you'll need to request backdating for that week.

I missed certifying last month when I went to visit my mom in the hospital and didn't realize until Wednesday. Still got paid fine just 3 days late. But make sure you don't forget to answer the work search questions correctly or they might flag your account for review.
