NY unemployment payment delay when claiming late night - Tuesday or Wednesday deposit?

ya it might be Wednesday now. i always claim sunday morning and get paid tues. once i did it monday afternoon and didnt get paid till weds.

The NY DOL processes claims in batches. If you certified after the cutoff time (which is usually around 7pm), your claim will likely be processed in the next day's batch. So yes, claiming at 10:45pm will probably push your payment to Wednesday instead of Tuesday. In my experience, the timing works like this: - Claim Sunday (before 7pm): Payment Tuesday - Claim Sunday (after 7pm) or Monday: Payment Wednesday - Claim Tuesday: Payment Thursday And so on. Hope this helps!

THIS SYSTEM IS SO FRUSTRATING!!! why can't they just process everything right away?? why do we have to wait for these stupid "batches"??? i've been waiting 4 days for my payment and still nothing!!

When I had problems with my payments being delayed I couldn't get through to anyone at unemployment for like a week. My cousin told me about Claimyr.com and it actually worked to get me connected to a rep in about 20 minutes instead of calling for days. They have a video about how it works at https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE. Got my payment timing straightened out right away after talking to someone.

i heard they're having system issues this week too because of some update they're doing? maybe that's why payments are weird? my friend said her payment is late too and she always claims sunday morning

my mom works at a bank and she says ACH transfers (which is what unemployment uses) always have a 24-48 hour processing time no matter what, so claiming at night vs morning wouldnt matter that much. but the unemployment office might have their own internal cutoff times that affect when they start the transfer. either way nothing we can do but wait!

just checked my account and i got my payment this morning even tho i claimed monday this week! so maybe ull still get it 2day?

To add some clarification: The NYSDOL payment system has specific processing windows. Claims are batched and sent to the payment processor, which then initiates the bank transfer. For most banks, if the DOL processes your claim in Tuesday's batch, it won't appear in your account until Wednesday. If you need to track exactly when your payment was processed, log into your account and check the "Payment History" section. There you'll see the exact date the payment was released, which helps predict when it will hit your bank.
