NY unemployment payment missing this week but benefits end next week - no processing shown

probably just a system glitch. happens all the time. sometimes they skip a week and then pay u double the next week

This happened to me in January. There's actually a small note in the handbook that says they sometimes do additional verification in the final weeks of your benefit period. Mine took 9 days to process and then showed up. I'd recommend logging in every day to check your payment history and also check your message inbox on the portal. Sometimes they send notices there that don't go to your email. Double check that you didn't hit your BYE (Benefit Year End) date earlier than you thought too.

I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM last month!!! They never sent ANY notification but when I finally got through to someone they said I needed to verify my employment history AGAIN even though I already did it when I first applied!!! The system is completely BROKEN and they don't care at all about us!! I lost two weeks of payments because of their stupid verification process that they never even told me about!!!!

Your claim may have been flagged for review. This is fairly common, especially as you approach the end of your benefit period. Unfortunately, the only way to get a clear answer is to speak with an agent directly. I've been in this exact situation and spent days trying to get through on the phones. I eventually used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an actual NYSDOL agent in about 30 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE Once I got through, the agent confirmed my claim needed additional verification and they processed it right away. My payment showed up 2 days later. Definitely worth checking out if you can't get through on your own.

When exactly did you certify on Sunday? Sometimes if you certify late in the evening, the system processes it as a Monday certification, which can delay things by a day. Also, did you answer any of the certification questions differently than usual? Even small changes can trigger a manual review. It's also possible there was a technical issue with the certification itself. Try logging out completely, clearing your browser cache, and logging back in to see if the payment status updates. The system can sometimes show different information after a fresh login.

this happened to me too! i thought i wuz going crazy cuz i KNOW i certified but nuthing showed up! i finally got thru yesterday (took 4ever) and the lady said there wuz a system flag cuz my address in the system didnt match exactly with my ID or sumthing? idk it wuz stupid but she fixed it and said payment will come in 3 days

I tried that Claimyr thing the other person mentioned when I had issues with my claim last month. It actually worked pretty well. Got through to an agent in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days. The agent told me my account was flagged because I had worked a part-time job for one week and reported the income (which is what you're supposed to do!) but apparently that triggered some automatic review. Not sure if that's what's happening in your case, but it sounds similar. Did you do any part-time work recently?

Just to follow up - when you're approaching the end of your benefit year, the system often does additional automated checks. Since you mentioned you did some part-time work recently, that could definitely trigger a review. The good news is that these reviews generally get resolved positively if everything was reported correctly. I recommend checking your payment history daily and also keeping an eye on your correspondence inbox on the portal. If nothing updates by Monday, definitely pursue getting through to an agent as others have suggested.
