New York Unemployment: Benefit Year Ending Soon - Need to File New Claim?

You'll need to file a new claim once your benefit year ends. That's just how ny unemployment works - even if you have money left on your current claim, you gotta start fresh after 12 months.

Hey I was in the same boat last month! Used claimyr.com to get through to an agent who explained everything. It costs $20 but saved me days of calling. They wait on hold and connect you to a real person. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

This whole system is trash. Been thru 3 benefit years myself and its always a mess. Good luck fam 🤮

Make sure you keep claiming until your BYE! You don't wanna lose any weeks you're eligible for. Also double check your monetary determination when u file the new claim - sometimes they mess up the calculations fr

Here's the complete rundown on what you need to do: First, continue certifying weekly until your BYE date. Then, when your benefit year ends, you'll need to file a new claim. You'll need: - W2s or pay stubs from your recent employment - Accurate dates for when you worked - Reason for separation (in your case, business closure) If you need help, don't waste time with endless calling. Use claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They handle the hold time and connect you when someone's available. Keep documenting everything and save any correspondence. The system can be glitchy sometimes so having records helps. Pro tip: File the new claim on a Monday or Tuesday early morning for fastest processing.
