NY unemployment payment late today - is anyone else missing theirs?

same. mines also missing and i certified sunday night!

I got mine just fine this morning, hit my Chase account around 8:30am. Maybe its your bank? Sometimes they hold deposits for weird reasons.

NYSDOL is ALWAYS doing this!!!! They love to mess with our money without any warning or explanation. I bet there's some "system upgrade" they didn't bother telling anyone about. I'm missing mine too and this is the THIRD TIME this year they've been late. How are we supposed to pay bills when they can't get their act together?? Anyone know if they posted anything about delays on their website??

There seems to be a partial payment delay happening today. I'm hearing from several clients with the same issue. From what I understand, NYSDOL is processing a large backlog of claims after the Presidents' Day weekend, which is slowing down their regular payment release schedule. Most pending payments should process overnight and appear tomorrow. If you don't see your payment by Thursday, you should contact them directly. Try not to panic - these temporary delays happen a few times a year, especially after holidays or at the beginning of quarters when their systems are processing more claims than usual.

my friend had this problem last month, turned out he made a tiny mistake on his certification (said he was available for work 6 days instead of 7 or something) and they flagged it for review. maybe double check ur certification answers?

If you need to get through to NYSDOL, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in the same position last month and was getting desperate after days of busy signals. The service connected me to an agent in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. You can see how it works in their demo: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE For payment delays specifically, you'll want to speak with the payment processing department, not just the general claims reps. Make sure to have your payment history from your online account ready when you call.

I'm actually going through the exact same thing, but this is my third week with no payment. Mine started as a "pending" status that never changed. I finally got through to someone yesterday who told me my account was flagged for an identity verification. Did you get any emails or messages in your account inbox? Sometimes they require additional documentation but don't notify you properly. Check your spam folder and your message inbox on the NYSDOL site too.

My payment was a day late last week with no explanation, then suddenly appeared. The NY unemployment system is totally overloaded right now with the new claims processing system they implemented in January. I've heard they're having lots of technical glitches. My neighbor works for the state (not unemployment specifically) and said there's a lot of backend issues they're still working out with the new software. I wouldn't panic unless it goes beyond Thursday.

Just an update for everyone in this thread - NYSDOL just posted on their Twitter account that there was indeed a processing delay affecting some payments that were certified on Sunday. They expect all pending payments to be released by tomorrow morning. If anyone doesn't receive their payment by Thursday, they're recommending you call the payment processing line directly.
