New York Unemployment: Got message benefits paid - when will money hit Way2Go card?

Usually takes 1-2 business days after you get that message. Mine always comes around 2am when it hits the card 💯

I was having trouble getting through to check my payment status but found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then connects when someone picks up. Costs $20 but worth it cause I needed to fix something with my claim. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Make sure you activated your card! I waited 3 days like a 🤡 before realizing I needed to activate it first lmaooo

the first payment sometimes takes a lil longer, dont stress. The system is just slow af with new claims

Direct deposit is the way to go tbh. Way2Go cards can be such a pain sometimes

Check your Way2Go card balance online or call the number on the back - sometimes the money hits but you don't get a notification right away. Also make sure you're checking the right card if you have multiple ones!

Same thing happened to me last month! Got the text on a Tuesday and the money didn't hit my Way2Go until Thursday morning. First payments can be slower than usual - they gotta process everything through their system. Just keep checking your balance every few hours, it'll show up soon 👍
