NY unemployment payment missing from my account this morning - anyone else?

Yep, same here! Nothing hit my account this morning and I'm freaking out a little. Usually I get it by 9am but its almost 2pm now and still nothing.

There's a payment processing delay affecting many NY unemployment claims today. The NYSDOL posted about it on their social media this morning - said it's affecting direct deposits scheduled for Tuesday (today). They're saying payments should post by tomorrow morning, but some banks might take longer to process. No action needed on our part supposedly.

mine came in at like 6am like usual. maybe check with ur bank?

I've been on unemployment since January and have learned that sometimes there are delays, especially around holidays or system maintenance periods. I checked the NYSDOL website and they do have a notice about system maintenance that happened this past Sunday night, which might be related to the delay. Usually when this happens, the money shows up the next day for me. If you don't see it by tomorrow afternoon, then I'd start to worry and try harder to contact them.

I've spent the last 3 hours trying to call the NY unemployment office to check on my missing payment too! Couldn't get through at all - just kept getting disconnected or told to call back later. Finally I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in about 20 minutes. They confirmed there's a system-wide delay affecting Tuesday payments and said it should resolve within 24 hours. Their video demo shows exactly how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE - saved me hours of redial frustration!

This is a systemic issue with how the NY unemployment payment system interfaces with different financial institutions. Direct deposits are sent in batches, and occasionally a batch will be delayed due to processing issues. Important things to know: 1. The delay is usually 24-48 hours maximum 2. You don't need to recertify or take any action 3. This won't affect your benefit amount or eligibility 4. If you have recurring payments scheduled, contact those creditors immediately to explain the situation If the payment doesn't arrive by Thursday morning, then you should contact NYSDOL directly as there might be a specific issue with your individual claim rather than the system-wide delay.

Just as an update, my payment just hit my account about 10 minutes ago! Check yours, maybe it's coming through now.
