New York Unemployment: Disqualified for one job but approved for another - Will I still get benefits?
Applied for unemployment from my last two jobs and got my weekly benefit amount in the mail. Then they sent me a questionnaire about one job, which I filled out. Now got a letter saying I'm disqualified from that one job but nothing about the other one. Haven't received any texts or emails and cant reach anyone. Will I still get benefits from the other job that was part of my weekly benefit calculation?

Same thing happened to me last month. If one job disqualifies you, it usually affects the whole claim. You need to appeal asap - you only have 30 days from the determination letter 😫

•Look at the back of your determination letter, should have appeal instructions. Dont wait or you'll be SOL 💯

I finally got through to someone using claimyr.com - it costs $20 but they dial and wait on hold then connect you to an agent. Worth every penny cause I was in the same situation and needed answers! Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

•100% legit, got through in like 45 mins. Better than calling for weeks straight with no answer

Been working UI claims for 10 years. Here's what you need to know: When you file with multiple jobs, they look at your entire base period as one claim. If you're disqualified from one job due to misconduct or voluntary quit, it can affect your entire claim. However: - You can and should appeal if you disagree - Bring documentation to support your case - Keep claiming weekly benefits during appeal - Try reaching an agent ASAP (use claimyr.com if you're struggling to get through) Don't just wait around - take action now. The system is backed up but you have rights!
