NY unemployment payment delay after claiming on Sunday - anyone else still waiting?

Same here! Claimed Sunday and still nothing. Last week it came through Tuesday morning. My account also shows pending. I'm hoping it's just a system-wide delay and not something wrong with our individual claims.

mine came through normal time yestrday. maybe check if u answered something different this week on ur certification?? one wrong answer can flag ur acct for review

NYSDOL is experiencing payment processing delays this week due to their quarterly system maintenance. This happens every few months. Payments are typically delayed by 1-3 business days when this occurs. As long as your certification shows as 'pending' (not 'held' or 'rejected'), you should receive payment by Friday. If you don't receive it by Friday, or if your status changes to anything other than 'pending' or 'processed', then you'll need to contact them directly.

This ALWAYS happens!!! Every few months DOL "maintenance" messes up payments and thousands of us have to stress about paying bills on time. Why can't they do this maintenance on weekends when it wouldn't impact payment timing?? But nooooo, they don't care if we can't pay rent. So sick of this garbage system.

Just got off the phone with a claims specialist who confirmed they're experiencing processing delays this week. They said all pending payments from Sunday-Tuesday certifications should process by tomorrow night. If anyone needs to reach them directly, I used Claimyr to get through immediately instead of waiting on hold for hours. Their site is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE Totally worth it when you need answers right away about missing payments.

I had my payment delayed last week too, but for a different reason. I accidentally reported 2 hours of work from a side gig and that triggered a review. Just a reminder to everyone that ANY change to your usual certification can cause delays while they verify the information. In my case, it took 5 business days instead of the usual 2.

mine just hit my account about 20 minutes ago! check yours maybe?

my cousin works for nysdol she says there doing some kind of big update to stop fraud or something this week so everything is slow

UPDATE: My payment just came through! Just wanted to let everyone know who might be in the same boat. Looks like it was just delayed by about 36 hours from the normal time. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!

This is such a relief to read! I'm new to NY unemployment and claimed for the first time on Sunday. When my payment didn't show up yesterday I was freaking out thinking I did something wrong with my certification. Really glad to see it's just a system-wide delay and that payments are starting to come through. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences - it's so helpful for someone like me who doesn't know what's normal yet!
