New York Unemployment: Filed waiting week but no payment history showing up
Filed my waiting week for unemployment on Sunday but nothing is showing in payment history yet. Got the monetary determination letter with my weekly amount but it says its not an approval letter. Anyone know what this means or how long until I see something in payment history?

The first week is always the waiting week and you dont get paid for it. Give it a few days to show up in payment history. As long as you got the monetary determination letter youre probably good to go

I had the same issue last month. Found a solution using claimyr.com - its this service that calls unemployment for you and connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but way better than calling yourself all day. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Comprehensive Guide for New Claims: First week is ALWAYS unpaid waiting week. The monetary determination letter just shows what you qualify for - final approval comes later. Timeline: - Payment history updates: 3-7 business days - First actual payment: Usually 2-3 weeks after waiting week - If no updates after a week, contact them Quickest way to reach them is through claimyr.com if you're stuck. Keep certifying weekly no matter what! Make sure your direct deposit/payment info is set up in your account while waiting. Check your spam folder for emails too.

Make sure you didn't answer any questions wrong during certification. One wrong answer can hold everything up 😫
