New York Unemployment: Filed new claim after BYE, got monetary letter but no approval - how long to wait?

took me about 3 weeks after getting that monetary determination letter. just keep certifying weekly even if your not getting paid yet. once approved theyll backdate the payments 👍

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com - they dial through the phone menu, wait on hold, then connect you when an agent picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

mine took 6 weeks and had to call multiple times cause they needed additional info. its different for everyone depending on your work history and if theres any flags on ur account

The current process for BYE claims usually takes 2-4 weeks for processing. Make sure all your employment info is correct and keep certifying weekly. If you worked during your last benefit year, they'll need to verify that employment which can add time. If you don't hear anything after 4 weeks, definitely call them - use claimyr.com to get through faster. Document everything and save all letters/emails. Sometimes they need additional docs so check your online account messages daily. Don't stress if the payment history shows $0 for now, that's normal until final approval.

omg same boat rn. been 2 weeks since i got that letter 😫

ny unemployment system is such a joke fr fr 🤡
