NY unemployment deposit missing - anyone else not get paid on Tuesday after holiday?

Anyone else waiting for their unemployment money to show up today? I normally get my payment every Tuesday around 4:15PM like clockwork (I use GreenDot direct deposit). Since yesterday was Memorial Day, I figured it might be delayed, but it's almost 7PM now and still nothing in my account. I checked my payment history online and it shows as processed, but the money isn't there. Starting to get nervous since I have rent due this Friday. Anyone else experiencing delays with their NY unemployment deposit this week?

Same here. Usually hits my Chase account by noon on Tuesday but nothing yet. Guessing the holiday pushed everything back by a day. Last time this happened was after Presidents Day and it came through Wednesday morning.

Chase always takes longer than those prepaid cards and online banks. Something about their processing system 🙄

After spending hours trying to call ny unemployment with no luck, I found this site claimyr.com that got me connected with an actual agent in like 40 minutes. They helped me figure out that my payments were delayed cuz of the holiday but should arrive tomorrow. Best money I ever spent to finally get answers! They even have a youtube video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

sounds sketchy af... you sure this isnt some scam?

0 coins

not a scam at all! I was desperate after calling for 3 days straight. They just connect you with a real agent. No personal info needed besides your phone number to call you back. They saved me from getting evicted last month when my payments stopped randomly.

wait how does this work? do they just sit on hold for you or something?

0 coins

exactly! they have some automated system that calls and waits through all the hold music, then when a human picks up, it connects to your phone. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast

another day, another company promising to fix the unfixable unemployment system lol... what makes this different?

0 coins

the difference is it actually works. I was skeptical too but was at my breaking point. Try getting through to unemployment yourself if you dont believe me 🤷‍♂️

Holiday delay 100%. Banks don't process payments on holidays, so everything gets pushed back. Should hit tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

Every damn holiday this happens and every damn time I forget and panic 😂 The whole system needs an upgrade! Been collecting since February after my company downsized and the inconsistency drives me crazy

FOR REAL! like maybe put a banner on the website saying "payments delayed due to holiday" so we dont all freak out??

0 coins

Exactly!!! How hard would that be? But no, they'd rather have thousands of people calling and crashing their phone lines 🙄

I have KeyBank and mine just came through about 30 minutes ago (8:23pm). Much later than usual. Seems like they're processing them now, so yours should be coming soon I hope!

0 coins

just checked again and still nothing 😩 hopefully by morning

This happens EVERY holiday, and yet we all panic every single time lmao. I'm pretty sure it says somewhere on the website that payments are delayed after holidays but who actually reads that stuff? 🤣 Mine always comes the next day when this happens.

If you're really worried, I highly recommend trying to get through to an agent at NY unemployment. They can at least confirm if it was processed correctly on their end. I wasted days trying to call until I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an agent in under an hour when I had a payment issue last month. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after trying for a week on my own.

how much does it cost?

0 coins

I don't remember exactly, but whatever it was, it was worth it. My payments had stopped for 3 weeks over a "review" that no one told me about, and the agent fixed it in 5 minutes once I got through.

0 coins

Yeah right, another 'miracle solution'... what's the catch? 🙄

0 coins

no catch, they just call and wait on hold for you. When a real person answers, they connect you. Saved me hours of frustraition.

I've been on unemployment since October and here's what I've learned about holiday payment schedules with NY unemployment: Whenever there's a holiday (especially a Monday holiday), payments typically process 24-48 hours later than usual. This is because: - The NYSDOL system runs the payment batch on the first business day after you certify - Banks don't process ACH transfers on federal holidays - Different banks have different posting times for incoming transfers GreenDot and similar prepaid cards usually get their deposits faster than traditional banks. Chase, BoA and other big banks often take a full extra day. If you're desperate to speak with someone, don't waste days calling. I discovered claimyr.com a few months ago, and it's been a game-changer for actually reaching a human at unemployment. They call and wait on hold for you, then connect you with an agent when one is available. Bottom line: Your money should arrive by tomorrow afternoon, Thursday morning at the latest. If it doesn't show up by Thursday EOD, then you should definitely try to speak with an agent.

Wow, thank you for this detailed explanation! Makes total sense now. I'll wait till tomorrow afternoon before I really start to worry.

Still waiting on mine 😡 with Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo always takes forever with these deposits. You might not see it till tomorrow morning.

Anyone try to call the unemployment office about this? I've been on hold for TWO HOURS and still nothing.

0 coins

Don't waste your time calling about a one-day delay after a holiday. This is normal.

Try claimyr.com if you really need to talk to someone. They'll get you through to an agent way faster than calling yourself

0 coins

I'll check it out, thanks. Getting desperate here!

Y'all need to chill lol. It's literally ONE DAY after a holiday. The system always runs a day behind after holidays. If you don't have your money by Thursday, THEN start panicking.

0 coins

easy to say "chill" when ur not about to get evicted 🙄

0 coins

Fair point. Didn't mean to sound insensitive. Just trying to reassure people this is normal.
