NY unemployment certification from 8/29 not processed or released - what does this mean?

I had the same issue with my 8/29 certification. Called NYSDOL this morning and they said there's a processing delay affecting some accounts this week. The rep told me it should clear up by Monday and all pending certifications will be processed then. Don't certify again - that could flag your account for fraud review. Just wait until Monday, and if it's still not showing as processed by Tuesday, then call.

mine didnt go throuhg either from tuesday. usually hits my account by thursday morning latest. something must be up with their system

This happened to me last month - turns out I needed to answer an ID verification question that appeared in my messages section of my account. Check there to see if they need additional information from you. Sometimes they randomly select accounts for verification and won't process payments until you respond.

When this happened to me, I used Claimyr to get through to an agent right away. Their system connects you directly to a NYSDOL rep without waiting on hold for hours. The website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE The agent told me that sometimes certifications get flagged for manual review if anything in your answers differs from previous weeks, even slightly. In my case, they fixed it while I was on the phone and my payment was released the next day.

i think theres a system problem because my friend has same thing happen. she certified on 8/29 and nothing in account yet. dont worry too much

Have you checked if there was a holiday that might have affected processing? Sometimes bank holidays can delay unemployment payments by 1-2 business days. Also worth checking if your benefit year expired - that happened to me and I had to reapply even though I still had a balance showing.

Just an update for everyone - I just checked my account and my payment from 8/29 now shows as "released" with a payment date of tomorrow. Looks like they're starting to process the backlog. Check your accounts!

mine too!! thx for letting us know

Still nothing in my account! This is getting ridiculous. Every time there's a 'glitch' some of us get left behind. I've been on unemployment for 4 months and there's ALWAYS some problem with their system. I'm calling first thing tomorrow.

For those who are still having issues, make sure you check these things: 1. Verify your direct deposit information hasn't changed 2. Check for any messages in your account inbox 3. Make sure your ID.me verification is still active 4. Look for any work search requirements that might not have been properly reported Any of these could cause a certification to be held for review. If everything looks good, then it's likely the system delay others mentioned.

my brother works at a bank and he said sometimes end of month payments take longer to process because of high volume. maybe thats why august 29 certifications are slow?
