NYDOL overpayment: When will benefits resume after recoupment?

Ugh, overpayments are the worst! I went through something similar last year. It took about 3 weeks after they finished recouping the overpayment for my regular benefits to start up again. Hang in there!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Have you tried checking your payment history on the NYDOL website? Sometimes you can see when the next payment is scheduled even if its not coming right away.

Overpayments are such a headache 🤕 I had to deal with one last year and it took forever to sort out. Make sure you keep ALL your paperwork and correspondence with them. It'll help if there are any disputes later on.

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative's office. They often have direct lines to DOL and can help push things along.

Here's what I know about overpayments and benefit resumption: • Once NYDOL determines there's an overpayment, they'll start deducting from your future benefits. • The amount they take depends on the total overpayment and can be up to 50% of your weekly benefit. • Benefits should continue during repayment, just at a reduced rate. • If your benefits stopped completely, it might be due to a separate issue. • Check your online account for any new determinations or messages. • If it's been more than 2-3 weeks with no benefits, definitely try to contact them. • Remember, each case is unique, so your experience may vary. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of NYDOL where everything's made up and the timelines don't matter 🤡

Have you tried calling them? I know its a pain, but sometimes you gotta be persistent to get answers.

I'm dealing with a similar overpayment situation right now too! From what I've read in the DOL handbook, they're supposed to send you a notice explaining the recoupment schedule and when benefits should resume. Have you gotten anything like that in writing? Also, I noticed on my online account there's a section that shows the overpayment balance - might be worth checking if yours updates as they deduct. This whole process is so stressful when you're already struggling financially 😔
