NY unemployment payment showing no release date after claiming this week

Same here. I claimed Sunday around 9am and still nothing showing up. Usually hits my account Wednesday morning but now its Friday and nothing. Called the automated line and it says I have no pending payments. Super weird.

After going through hell with the ny unemployment system, I finally found a solution! Used a service called Claimyr that kept dialing for me and got me connected to an actual agent. Talking to a real person fixed my issue immediately and my payment was processed the next day. Best thing I've ever done to finally get my benefits paid quickly!

I'm experiencing something similar but not exactly the same. I claimed Sunday morning, got confirmation number, but when I look at payment history it shows $0 for this week. Called their automated number and it says my payment is pending review. This happened once before but fixed itself in 2 days. I'd give it til Monday before panicking.

Ok so here's what ACTUALLY happens sometimes. The system runs batches to process claims, and occasionally a batch fails or has errors. When this happens, they have to manually reset things which can cause delays. It's happened twice this year already - February and May. Just wait it out, it'll probably show up Monday or Tuesday next week.

THIS SYSTEM IS TRASH!!! 🤬 Been dealing with these "glitches" for over a year. They always get fixed but OMG WHY CANT THEY JUST MAKE IT WORK CONSISTENTLY?!

Look guys I work in software development (not for unemployment but similar systems). These government batch processing systems are ancient and run on outdated tech from the 1980s. When something goes wrong, they have to bring in specialized consultants who know COBOL programming language to fix it. Be patient - your money will come, just delayed.

Sometimes the delay happens if you answered any questions differently than previous weeks. Did you report any work or earnings this time? Or answer 'no' to being available for work? That'll trigger a manual review.

The best thing you can do is try to speak with a real person at NY unemployment. The only way I've been able to get through is using Claimyr.com - it keeps dialing for you and connects you when someone answers. Explaining your situation to an actual agent is 100x more effective than waiting and hoping the system fixes itself. I had a similar issue where my payments just stopped appearing in the system. When I finally got through to an agent, they found that my account had been flagged for quarterly review (which happens randomly). The agent cleared the flag and my payment was processed immediately. If you're worried about rent and bills, definitely don't wait - try to get someone on the phone who can look at your specific claim. The automated systems and website don't show you everything that might be happening with your claim behind the scenes. claimyr.com seriously saved me from getting evicted when my benefits mysteriously stopped last month.

Have u checked ur bank account directly? Sometimes the DOL system doesn't update but the money still hits ur account.

Mine finally came through today (Friday) when it usually hits Wednesday. I think theyre just behind this week. hang in there!

Did u get an email confirmation when u certified? I always screenshot that confirmation page just in case theres issues later.

Sometimes claims get randomly selected for extra verification. Had this happen to me in August. You should get a letter or email if that's the case but sometimes they forget to send it 🙃

My friend works for unemployment (not in NY but another state) and she says end of month/beginning of month is when they do system maintenance which can cause delays. Might be that.

hav you checked the spam folder in ur email? Sometimes they send notices that ur claim needs additional info
