New York Unemployment: Do I need to report starting new job or just stop certifying?

congrats on the new job! Just stop certifying. thats what i did when i got my job last month and everything was fine. once you start making money you just stop claiming 👍

I found an easier way to reach them using claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold then connect you to an agent. Costs $20 but worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

You should technically report it to them but literally no one does lol. Just stop certifying when you start working and ur good 🤷‍♀️

Make sure you keep track of your last certification date and any partial earnings that week. Sometimes they audit later and youll need those records. Better safe than sorry!

The official answer: You should notify NY unemployment about starting work. The realistic answer: everyone just stops certifying. Never heard of anyone having issues doing it that way 🤷‍♂️

If you really wanna do it by the book, you can try calling them at the automated number or use claimyr.com to get through. But honestly just stopping works fine too

Congrats on the new job! 🎉 From what I've seen, most people just stop certifying once they start working full-time and don't have any issues. The system automatically stops sending you certification forms after you miss a few weeks anyway. Just make sure you don't certify for any week where you're working full-time hours - that's the important part. You should be all set!

Definitely report it officially if you want to be 100% by the book, but honestly most people just stop certifying and it works out fine. The key thing is don't certify for any week where you're working - that's where people get in trouble. If you're really worried about it, you could always call their customer service line (good luck getting through though 😅) or check if there's a way to report it online. But yeah, just stopping certifications is what most folks do and I haven't heard of issues with that approach.

You should definitely report your new job to avoid any potential issues! While lots of people just stop certifying (and usually nothing happens), the official requirement is to notify DOL when your employment status changes. You can report it through your online account or by calling their customer service line. This way you're covered if they ever audit your claim later. Better to spend a few minutes reporting it properly than worry about it down the road. Congrats on the new position! 🎉

Congrats on landing the new job! 🎉 I went through this exact same situation a few months back and was super anxious about doing the wrong thing. I ended up calling the DOL line (took forever to get through) and they told me that while you *should* officially report the job change, most people just stop certifying and the system handles it automatically. The rep said as long as you don't certify for any weeks where you're working full-time, you're fine. I chose to play it safe and reported it online through my account - took like 2 minutes. But honestly, either approach seems to work based on what I've seen in this community. The main thing is just don't certify once you start getting that regular paycheck!

Definitely report it to be safe! I had the same dilemma last year and decided to officially notify them through the online portal - it was super quick and gave me peace of mind. You can find the option to report employment changes in your NY.gov account under the unemployment section. That way you're covered if they ever do any audits later. Most people do just stop certifying and it works out fine, but taking the extra 5 minutes to report it officially is worth it IMO. Good luck with the new job! 🎉
