Multiple UI claim numbers - Billing confusion with NYS DOL unemployment

Ugh, the unemployment system is such a mess! I had a similar issue last month. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It might help to speak with someone directly about your specific situation.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes the system updates there before you get any notifications. It might show if both claims are active or if one was cancelled.

This happened to me too! Turns out the second 'order' was actually just a confirmation of an update to my first claim. Check your emails carefully - they might have sent you more info.

The unemployment system is a total 🤡 show rn. I've been dealing with issues for MONTHS. My advice? Document everything. Every call, every email, every claim number. You might need it later if things get messed up.

Here's what you need to know about multiple claims and billing issues with unemployment: • First, don't panic. It's common for the system to generate multiple claim numbers, especially if you've had to make updates or corrections. • Check your online account for the most up-to-date information. This should show your active claim(s) and any pending payments. • If you're worried about double billing, rest assured that the unemployment office doesn't actually 'charge' you. The numbers you're seeing are likely just internal reference numbers. • However, if you've received multiple payments for the same week, DO NOT spend the extra money. Report it to the unemployment office immediately to avoid future issues. • Keep all documentation related to your claims, including emails, confirmation numbers, and any letters you receive. • If you can't resolve the issue online or by phone, consider reaching out to your local state representative. They often have contacts in the unemployment office and can help escalate your case. Remember, the unemployment system is overwhelmed right now, so patience is key. But don't be afraid to be persistent in getting your issue resolved!
