New York Unemployment: How to claim missed week from 3 weeks ago?
My unemployment payments were going fine but I totally forgot to certify for one week about 3 weeks ago. Everything else is certified and paid except that one week. I really need that money. Called like 50 times but cant get through to anyone. Getting really worried about this missed payment.

You need to call them asap. They can backdate your claim but only if you talk to someone. The website wont let you do it yourself after a certain amount of time passes.

Hey I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this site called claimyr.com - they dial and wait on hold then call you when they get an agent. Costs $20 but honestly worth every penny. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Listen up fam, here's what you gotta do to fix this: First, document everything. Write down the exact week you missed and why. Keep trying to reach them by phone - its literally the only way to fix a missed certification. The website won't let you backdate after 7 days. I've been through this before and finally got it fixed. Used claimyr.com to get through (they call and wait on hold for you). Once you get someone, be super nice and explain what happened. They can usually fix it right away. Just remember: - Have your claim info ready - Be ready to explain why you missed certifying - They might ask about job searches for that week - Stay calm and polite Good luck! 🙏
