New York Unemployment: Company shut down - When will I get my first payment?

Usually takes about 2-3 weeks for the first payment after claiming the waiting week. Make sure your direct deposit info is correct in the system. They'll send you the debit card anyway but its better to have DD set up

Had trouble getting through on the phone myself but found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then connects when someone picks up. costs $20 but worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

make sure u certify every week even while waiting for first payment! dont miss any weeks or youll have to call them to backdate

Welcome to the unemployment club 😭 same thing happened to my company last month. whole place just went belly up overnight

Here's everything you need to know about first payments in NY: First 7 days is your waiting week - unpaid but required After that, payments usually process in 2-3 weeks Make sure to: - Certify EVERY week (Sun-Sat) - Keep good records of your job search - Have direct deposit set up - Check your spam folder for emails If you need to speak to someone and can't get through, try claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Don't stress if it takes a bit longer, the system is backed up rn 💯

check ur payment history on the website. sometimes they dont send email notifications but u can see if payment is pending there
