New York Unemployment: Missed Weekly Certification on Sunday - What Now?
I totally forgot to certify for my benefits on Sunday. This is my first time missing it. Does anyone know if I can still claim for last week? Or am I gonna lose those benefits?

You can still claim! Just log in and do it asap. Theres a grace period until Saturday at midnight. You'll get paid a day or two later than normal but its better than losing the week

I found a way to actually talk to someone at unemployment using claimyr.com - they dial and wait on hold then call you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but worth it when you need answers fast. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's the complete breakdown of what you need to know about late certification: - You have until Saturday at midnight to certify for the previous week - Use your NY.gov ID to log in and certify as normal - Payment will be delayed by 1-2 business days - If you need to certify for multiple weeks, you'll need to call - If the website gives you issues, try using claimyr.com to get through to an agent - Multiple late certifications can trigger a review of your account - Save your confirmation number when you certify The most important thing is to act fast and not let it happen again. Set reminders for future weeks!

Pro tip: download the NY Labor mobile app if you haven't already. It's way more reliable than the website and you can set push notifications to remind you to certify. Saved my butt multiple times when the main site was down on Sunday!
