NY unemployment payment timing after waiting week was processed - will I get paid this week?

Yes, you should get paid this week. When your waiting week is processed and you file your weekly claim, payments typically take 2-3 business days to hit your account. Since you filed on Sunday, you'll likely see the money by Wednesday or Thursday, depending on your bank's processing time. Just make sure your payment method is set up correctly in your NY.gov account.

Did u set up direct deposit? If not theyll send u a debit card and that takes like 7-10 days to come in the mail.

I just went through this last month! Filed on Sunday, money was in my account Thursday morning. The first payment always seems to take a little longer than the rest.

The timing can vary. Mine took 5 business days after my waiting week was processed. The NYSDOL system is overloaded right now with the seasonal layoffs. If you don't see it by Friday, you should try calling them to make sure there's no hold on your account. The frustrating part is getting through to a live person - I had to call like 50 times before someone picked up.

In my experience with NY unemployment, after your waiting week is processed, you should see payment within 3 business days of filing your weekly certification. However, there can sometimes be delays if: 1. It's your first payment (as others mentioned) 2. There are verification issues with your identity or employment history 3. You answered any certification questions that triggered a review If you don't receive payment by Friday, I'd recommend checking your payment history on the website or using the mobile app. It will show if the payment was released and when it was processed. That information is usually more up-to-date than the general status page.

is your claim showing as valid? mine said pending for like 2 weeks and then i realized i needed to upload more documents to prove my identity. check ur messages on the portal to see if they need anything else from u!!

they always say 2-3 days but mine always takes exactly 4 days every single time lol

I just remembered something that might help you! If you're really concerned about the timing, you can sign up for text alerts about your claim status. Go to your NY.gov account settings and there should be an option for notifications. That way you'll get a text when your payment is processed and don't have to keep checking the website.
