New York Unemployment: Got Benefits Determination Letter - When Will I Get First Payment?

Just filed my first unemployment claim and got my benefits determination letter in the mail. The letter shows my weekly benefit amount. Anyone know how long until I get my first payment? I've been certifying weekly like I'm supposed to.

Usually takes about 2-3 weeks for the first payment if everything is good with your claim. Keep certifying every week and make sure you answer all the questions correctly 💯

I was stuck trying to reach someone forever until I found claimyr.com. They got me connected to an agent who fixed my claim. Cost $20 but worth every penny. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The determination letter is just step 1. They still gotta review your case and make sure everythings correct. I've seen it take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on if they need more info or not. The system is slow af rn

If ur claim has any issues at all ur gonna need to talk to someone. Best bet is using claimyr.com to get through or ur gonna be calling forever. The phone lines are impossible these days fr fr
