NY unemployment payments stopped with 0 Effective Days Remaining despite having funds in account and ongoing benefit year

Same issue here! My payments stopped abrubtly about a month ago. I called every single day for 3 weeks straight and couldn't get thru to ANYONE. Finally I tried this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual human at unemployment. Got a callback with a live agent who fixed my claim on the spot. Best money I ever spent after weeks of frustration. Check out this video that explains how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This happened to me back in April. Turns out my account was flagged for review because of "suspicious activity" even though I did nothing wrong. The system sometimes does random security checks. You NEED to talk to a rep to get it fixed. Keep calling or try that Claimyr service someone mentioned above.

Check if your BYE (Benefit Year End) date is coming up. Even though you might still have money in your account, sometimes you need to file a new claim when your benefit year ends. The 0 effective days seems suspicious tho. Call them ASAP.

The UI system is such a dumpster fire rn 🔥 🗑️ I've had payments randomly stop twice during my claim. Both times it was because of some "system update" that flagged random accounts. You have to call and talk to a tier 2 specialist (not just the first person who answers).

Here's what's likely happening: When your payment history shows 0 effective days remaining but your benefit year hasn't ended, it usually means one of several things: 1. Your account has been flagged for an identity verification check (extremely common) 2. There's a question about your work search activities 3. The system detected a potential eligibility issue 4. Your claim needs to be reviewed by a specialist 5. There might be a technical glitch with your account Unfortunately, the ONLY way to resolve this is speaking with an actual representative. The online system won't tell you what's wrong or how to fix it. After trying to call for weeks with no success, I finally used Claimyr.com to get through. They call on your behalf and connect you when they reach a live person. It worked perfectly - got through in under an hour when I'd been trying for days. Also, make sure you're continuing to certify every week even if you're not getting paid - they can release back payments once the issue is fixed, but only for weeks you properly certified for. Good luck! The NY unemployment system is a nightmare, but persistence pays off.

they probably think your commiting fraud. happened to me and I had to wait 8 weeks to get a single penny. the system is rigged against us regular folks 😡

Have you checked your email and mail? Sometimes they send notices requiring additional information but don't tell you that's why they stopped payments. Classic NY unemployment move 🙄

So I had literally the EXACT same issue back in May. Zero effective days but claim wasnt expired. I finally got through to someone after using claimyr.com (seriously a lifesaver) and turns out there was a quarterly review flag on my account. They needed to verify my employment history again. Took the rep about 10 minutes to fix and my payments resumed the following week with backpay.

Did you start working part time recently? I had this happen when I picked up some gig work and reported it. The system got confused and stopped all payments instead of just adjusting the amount.

another day another person getting screwed by ny unemployment 🤡 the whole system needs to be rebuilt from scratch

Try sending a message through the online message system on your account. Sometimes they respond faster that way than through phone. also tag them on twitter @NYSLabor - they actually monitor that and sometimes will help people who post publicly about issues.
