New York Unemployment: How long after waiting week until first payment hits?

Just had my waiting week processed and it's showing in my payment history. Anyone know how long it takes to actually get the money? Really need this to come through soon since bills are piling up.

Usually takes about 2-3 business days after the waiting week shows up in your payment history. Mine hit my direct deposit on wednesday after showing up on monday.

I was stuck waiting forever until I used claimyr.com to get through to an agent. They stayed on hold and got someone on the line who fixed my claim right away. Cost $20 but worth every penny honestly. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Can confirm - used them last week when my payment was stuck. Agent fixed everything in 5 mins once I got through

Did you set up direct deposit or are you getting the debit card? Direct deposit is WAY faster

First payment takes the longest fr fr. After that its like clockwork every week as long as you claim on time

I remember being in this exact spot. Make sure all your info is correct in the system - address, banking info, etc. One wrong digit can delay everything. If anything seems off, don't wait - call them immediately using claimyr.com to skip the hold times. The sooner you catch issues the better!
