Missed weekly certification for New York Unemployment - How to claim missed payment?

You gotta call and speak to a rep to backdate the certification. No other way around it. Been there done that 🙄

I finally found a way to get through! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you, then calls your phone when they get an agent. Costs $20 but totally worth it after trying to call for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The system is such trash rn. Like how tf they expect people to get through when the phone lines are always busy 🤡

Word of advice: Set an alarm on your phone for certification day. I do mine every Sunday at 12:01am never miss it now

Let me break this down for everyone dealing with missed certifications: First, you MUST speak with a rep to fix this - no way around it. Your options are: 1. Keep calling the regular number (888-581-5812) but good luck getting through 2. Use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold for you ($20 fee but saves hours of frustration) 3. Try calling right when they open at 8am or just before closing at 6pm When you do get through, the rep can backdate your claim and process the missed payment. They might ask why you missed it - just be honest. Usually takes 2-3 business days for the payment to hit your account after they fix it. PRO TIP: Set reminders for weekly certification so this doesn't happen again. You can certify anytime between Sunday-Saturday but don't wait until the last minute! Hope this helps everyone in the same boat! 🙏
