New York Unemployment Hold After Missing Career Appointment - Still No Payment

Same exact thing happened to me last month. Took about 3 weeks for them to lift the hold. Make sure you document everything and keep claiming your weekly benefits even if its not paying out.

I found a way to get through to someone on the phone. Used this site called claimyr.com - its a service that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but worth it tbh. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Listen up - here's what you need to know about missed appointments and holds: First, good that you went and made it up quickly. That helps. But the system is slow to update. Here's what to do: 1. Keep claiming every week no matter what 2. Get documentation from the career center showing you completed everything 3. Try reaching them through their website portal 4. If no response in 5 business days, you need to call Quickest way to resolve is getting someone on the phone. Use claimyr.com if you're struggling to get through - yeah it costs money but better than waiting weeks. They should backpay you for the weeks you claimed during the hold once it's fixed. Don't stress too much, this happens a lot lately with their new appointment system.

ur lucky u only missed it by 4 days... I missed mine by 2 weeks and they made me start my whole claim over 💀

these career appointments are such bs honestly. like we're already looking for work why do we need to go to these smh

Call them asap! Don't wait for it to resolve itself. The longer u wait the more complicated it gets trust
