NY unemployment 1099G forms mailing schedule - can't access my online account

Yes, NYSDOL does mail physical 1099G forms, but they strongly prefer people to access them online. They should be mailed by January 31st (required by law). If you're having trouble with your online account, try clearing your browser cache and cookies or use a different browser. Sometimes the NY.gov ID system gets weird connection issues that can be fixed that way.

i got mine in the mail last week but my neigbor didnt get hers yet, they send them out in batches i think

They're definitely mailing them out, but they're also supposed to be available in your online account under the 'My Documents' section. What specific error message are you getting when you try to log in? Is it saying 'invalid credentials' or something else? Sometimes the system will lock you out after too many failed attempts.

This happened to me last year too!!! So frustrating when you NEED these forms and can't get them. Is there a way to request them to send a new copy in the mail? I ended up waiting like 3 weeks past when I wanted to file because of this exact problem.

After spending TWO DAYS trying to get through to someone at NYSDOL about my missing 1099G, I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an agent in about 20 minutes. They confirmed my address and resent my form, plus helped me reset my account access. Saved me so much frustration. Check out their demo video to see how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE - totally worth it when you're in a time crunch for tax filing.

I'm in the same situation but I'm really worried because I moved since I was on unemployment and I'm not sure if they have my current address!!! Does anyone know if the 1099G forms get forwarded by USPS or if they return to sender?? I updated my address with USPS but forgot to update it with unemployment since my claim ended last year.

Just to add some helpful information: if you continue having issues, you can also submit a secure message through your NY.gov ID account (if you can access that part) specifically requesting a 1099G reprint. Go to the NYSDOL website, click on 'Forms and Publications' then look for '1099G Request'. They typically process these within 5-7 business days. Also, for future reference, the NY tax department can often access your 1099G information directly when you file state taxes, even if you don't have the physical form yet.

btw when you do get in check all the numbers on your 1099g. mine had the wrong amount! showed more than i got last year and id have to pay taxes on money i didnt even recieve!!!

UPDATE for everyone: Just saw on the NYSDOL Twitter account that they're experiencing technical issues with the online account system today and yesterday. They're working on fixing it. So this is a known issue affecting multiple users right now, not just individual account problems.

UPDATE: My 1099G form arrived in today's mail! For anyone else waiting, they are definitely sending them out. The website is still giving me the same error, but at least I have the form now. Thanks everyone for your help!
