New York Unemployment: How to properly close claim when starting new job?

Congrats on the new job! Yes you can def claim for last week since you didn't work any hours. For ending benefits just stop certifying - thats all you need to do. No need to call anyone 👍

If anyone needs to actually reach unemployment I found this website claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then calls you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but saved me hours of hold time. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Make sure you print out your payment history and save all your docs before you stop claiming. You never know when youll need that info later!

Whatever you do DONT just ghost your claim without certifying for your last eligible week. You earned that money fair and square!

Here's everything you need to know about ending your unemployment claim properly: Last Week Certification: - Yes, certify for your final week since you had zero hours - Do this during your regular certification window - Answer all questions honestly about job status Ending Your Claim: - Simply stop certifying after your last eligible week - No need to call or formally close anything - Keep your login info and documents for tax purposes - Print payment history for your records If you need to reach them about anything else, use claimyr.com - saves hours of hold time Congrats on the new job! 💯

just make sure u dont accidentally certify once u start the new job or theyll come after u for overpayment fr fr 🤡
