New York Unemployment: Just Applied After Layoff - What's The Timeline?

took about 3-4 weeks for me to get approved, just keep certifying every week even before ur approved. That way when they do approve u theyll back pay for those weeks 👍

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone using claimyr.com - its this service that calls and waits on hold for you then transfers when someone picks up. costs $20 but worked for me when i needed to check my claim status. heres a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Make sure u have ALL ur paperwork ready - w2s, pay stubs, everything. They might ask for it and if u dont respond fast enough it delays everything 💯

Listen here's the complete rundown based on my experience: - Application review typically takes 2-6 weeks - Make sure to certify EVERY week starting now - Set up direct deposit immediately if you haven't - Keep checking your email spam folder - Document EVERYTHING from your employer - If you need to talk to someone, use claimyr.com (saved me tons of time) Don't stress if it takes a while, they'll backpay you for all weeks certified. Just keep good records and stay on top of weekly certifications.

lmaooo good luck getting anything fast from ny unemployment rn. took me 2 months 🤮

Pro tip: screenshot EVERYTHING. Website be actin up sometimes and u dont want to lose any proof of what u submitted
