New York Unemployment: 5 weeks certified, claim accepted but no payment yet

Same here, certified for 6 weeks straight and nothing yet. My savings are almost gone 😩 this system is so broken

I found a way to actually get through to someone! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then connects you when they get an agent. Costs $20 but totally worth it after trying to call for weeks. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Missing payments usually means theres an issue with your claim that needs manual review. Could be identity verification, previous employer info, or wage disputes. Gotta talk to a rep to fix it.

Listen up cause I've been through this exact thing. Here's what you need to do: First, check your payment history on the website to see if there are any pending transactions or holds. Sometimes they don't tell you there's an issue. Next, you NEED to talk to someone. Best times to call are Tuesday-Thursday right when they open. Use claimyr.com if you're desperate - it works but costs money. Make sure you have all your documents ready: - ID - Social security card - Last year's W2 - Payment history screenshot - Any correspondence they sent you Don't stop certifying weekly even if you're not getting paid. Once they fix whatever's holding it up, you'll get all your backpay at once. Hope this helps! 🙏

its probably back dated. took me 8 weeks to get mine but got it all at once

try calling right at 8am, sometimes u can get lucky
