New York Unemployment: Do I need to report starting new job or just stop certifying?
Got a new job starting next week. Not sure if I need to tell unemployment or if I can just stop doing the weekly certifications. Anyone know what the proper way to handle this is? Don't want any issues down the road.

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 👍

•make sure you report any earnings for your last week if you work partial week while on UI

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
