New York Unemployment: Can I file with $7k in 2023 and $20k in 2024?

You should be fine qualifying. NY looks at your base period which is the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters before filing. You need at least $3,400 in one quarter and worked in 2 quarters total. Sounds like you def hit those numbers 💯

Hey I was in the same boat last month! I used claimyr.com to get through to them on the phone. It costs $20 but totally worth it since they wait on hold and call you when an agent picks up. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Make sure you have all your W2s and pay stubs ready when you file. They gonna ask for exact dates and income amounts.

ur good fam. i got approved with way less than that last year ngl
