New York Unemployment: Can I start new claim before benefit year ends?

Unfortunately you gotta wait till your benefit year expires. Thats just how it works. Even if you run out of money, you cant file new until the old one is done. Its stupid but thats the rules 🤷‍♂️

Hey I was in the same situation! I used claimyr.com to get through to an agent and they explained everything. It costs like $20 but worth it to actually talk to someone and get answers. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Look into partial unemployment if you can find part time work. Its better than nothing while u wait for benefit year to end

Let me break this down for everyone dealing with benefit year issues: You CANNOT file a new claim until your benefit year expires. Even if you've exhausted all funds. However, there are options: 1. Look for part-time work for partial benefits 2. Contact local assistance programs 3. Check if you qualify for other aid programs 4. Document all job search efforts If you need to speak with an agent (which I highly recommend), use claimyr.com - they'll get you through to someone who can explain your specific situation. Worth the $20 fee considering how impossible it is to get through normally. Keep all your paperwork organized and ready for when you CAN file that new claim.

my benefit year ended last week and I filed new claim but got denied cause I didnt make enough at my last job smh

anyone else getting error messages when trying to claim weekly benefits? system been acting up 🤔
