NY Unemployment payment missing from direct deposit today - should be there by now?

Same thing happened to me! My payment usually hits my account by 10am on thursdays but nothing yet. I'm getting really anxious because I have bills automatically coming out tomorrow. The online portal says payment was released but my bank shows nothing.

After months of having payment issues with ny unemployment, I finally found a service that helped me get through to an actual person at the department. I used claimyr.com and they connected me to a live agent who fixed my payment issue in one call. Most money I've ever spent to get what was rightfully mine, but it was worth it to finally get my benefits flowing again. Check out their youtube video to see how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I'm noticing a lot of payment delays this week too. My cousin works for a bank and said sometimes there are processing delays at the end of fiscal quarters. You'll probably see it tomorrow, I wouldn't worry too much yet.

YO THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WITH NY UNEMPLOYMENT!! The system is completely broken. Last month they skipped my payment for a whole week with ZERO explanation and then it randomly showed up 9 days later. No apology, no nothing. And they wonder why people are always calling them 🤡🤡🤡

Mine is also delayed but I've been through this before. The payment will probably show up tomorrow. The system sometimes has delays especially around holidays or end of month. The money is still coming so don't stress too much yet.

This is exactly why i dont rely on direct deposit. I get the debit card option and then immediately transfer the funds to my account when they hit the card. That way I can atleast SEE when the money is loaded even if i cant transfer it instantly. More control that way imo

Here are some things I've learned from dealing with NY unemployment payment issues for the past year: 1) Bank delays are common, especially near end of month/quarter 2) If your payment status says "released" or "processed" in the system, 99% of time it will arrive within 48 hours 3) Technical glitches happen more often than they admit publicly 4) If you need to talk to someone, regular phone lines are useless The absolute BEST solution I found was using claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They keep calling while you go about your day, and when they get someone, they connect you. Total game changer when you have a serious issue that needs human help. If your payment is just delayed by a day, it'll probably resolve itself. But if you're missing multiple payments or have a more serious issue, getting through to a human is the only real solution. The online messaging system is basically a black hole where claims go to die.

my friend works at unemployment (not in NY tho) and she said sometimes the bank processing can delay payments by 24-48 hours. nothing to panic about yet. if you don't have it by monday, then start worrying and calling.

Nobody's payment is MisSiNg. This happens like every few months where theres a delay. Your money will be there tomorrow. The system just uses ancient technology and sometimes it gets backed up. Chill out ppl.

Call them!!!!! Dont wait if you need the $. I had to nag them for WEEKS to get a missing payment once. The system is completely broken. Their web portal will tell you evrything's fine when it's not. YOU HAVE TO CALL!

Check ur spam folder for emails from unemployment. Sometimes they send notices about payment delays there. I just had a payment delayed because they wanted additional verification of my identity, but the email went straight to spam and I almost missed it.

not to be that person but... welcome to ny unemployment 😂 where the rules are made up and the payment dates don't matter!

Try checking your payment history on the website. Sometimes the payment status will update there before your bank shows the deposit. Mine says 'pending' on the site but should be processed by tomorrow.

I had the exact same problem. For three weeks my payments just randomly stopped coming. The site showed everything was fine but no money in my account. Spent HOURS on hold and never got through. Finally used claimyr.com and got connected to an agent who found the problem - there was a flag on my account that needed to be removed. Once I talked to a human it got fixed in like 10 minutes. The website is useless for actual problems.

This is happening to everyone statewide. Check the DoL twitter - they posted about a "processing delay" but of course gave no details. Should be fixed by tomorrow according to their post.
