New York Unemployment: Missed weekly certification deadline at 7:30pm - Will benefits end?

no worries you can still certify tomorrow but youll get paid a day later than usual. dont stress about it losing benefits completely

Hey if anyone needs to actually speak with someone at unemployment, I found this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you. Costs $20 but totally worth it. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Pro tip: Set an alarm on ur phone for certification. I do mine sunday morning first thing so I never forget

The real deadline is actually midnight on the last day of your certification window. The 7:30pm thing is just when the phone system closes but you can still do it online

bruh ive done this like 5 times already 🤣 ur good just certify tmrw

Let me break this down for everyone about certification times and what happens if you miss them. The system gives you a pretty decent window to certify each week. You can certify starting Sunday at 12:01 AM through midnight Saturday. The 7:30 PM cutoff is just for PHONE certification. Online certification works 24/7 during your window. If you miss your window completely, you'll need to call them to backdate the certification. That's where services like claimyr.com come in handy since getting through to an agent can be rough. Missing one certification won't end your benefits - you just might get paid late. Just make sure you certify ASAP and try not to make it a habit!
