Why does my unemployment payment show an "Offset" of $130.88 with release date 11/30/0002 alongside my regular Direct Deposit?

The 0002 date is usually because of an offset. Looks like they're taking some money for something you owe. The rest should hit your account in 1-2 business days after the release date

I found a way to actually talk to someone about this! Used claimyr.com - they call and wait on hold then connect you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but worth it to get answers. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Those dates are wack af. NY unemployment system is literally held together with duct tape and prayers at this point 🤡

The waiting week from 11/06 means ur first week isnt paid. Then u got a forfeit week prob cuz u didnt certify right. The offset is taking money from what they owe u - usually means u gotta pay something back

Let me break this down for you completely: 1. The normal payment ($219) will hit your account within 1-2 business days of the release date 2. The $130 with the weird date (11/30/0002) is an offset - meaning they're collecting money you owe 3. The forfeit week usually happens if you made a mistake certifying 4. Waiting week is normal - first week is never paid Best way to get clarity is to speak with an agent. I've had success using claimyr.com to get through - they wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Worth the $20 fee to get answers. Keep all your paperwork and screenshot everything. NY unemployment system is notorious for glitches and weird dates.

Year 0002? Looks like their computers taking us back to ancient rome lmaooo

Same exact thing happened to me last week! The offset amount ($130.88) is definitely being withheld - mine was for an old overpayment from 2021 that I had no idea about. You should still get your regular direct deposit amount ($219.74) on the normal release date. The year 0002 is just their system being glitchy when there's an offset involved. Check your mail for any letters from DOL explaining what the offset is for. If you don't get anything in a few days, definitely call them (or use that claimyr service others mentioned). The forfeit week shouldn't affect your current payments, but keep an eye on future certifications to make sure you're doing them correctly.

Had the exact same thing happen to me back in September! The offset with the weird 11/30/0002 date is definitely them taking money you owe - could be taxes, child support, or old overpayments. The good news is you'll still get your regular direct deposit of $219.74 on the normal release date (11/21/2022). That date glitch happens whenever there's an offset in their system - it's like their computers can't handle processing both a regular payment and a deduction at the same time lol. The $130.88 is being held/taken, not given to you. You should get a letter in the mail explaining exactly what the offset is for within a week or two. If not, definitely call DOL or try that claimyr service people mentioned. The forfeit week from 11/13 won't affect your current payments but make sure you're certifying correctly going forward. Keep screenshots of everything just in case!

Just went through this exact same situation! That 11/30/0002 date is their system's way of showing an offset is being processed. The $130.88 is definitely being taken out - NOT added to your payment. You'll still get your regular $219.74 direct deposit on 11/21/2022 though. The offset could be for several things: - Tax debt (federal or state) - Child support arrears - Previous unemployment overpayments - Student loan defaults You should receive a "Notice of Offset" letter within 10 business days explaining exactly what it's for. If you don't get one, call DOL immediately because sometimes they send notices to old addresses. Pro tip: Log into your online account and check if there are any "Determinations" or "Notices" in your inbox that you might have missed. Sometimes they post explanations there before mailing physical letters. The forfeit week from 11/13 won't affect your current payments, but double-check you're answering all certification questions correctly to avoid future issues. Keep screenshots of everything - NY's system is notorious for glitches and you'll want documentation if there are disputes later!

I've been dealing with NY unemployment for over a year now and can tell you that the 11/30/0002 date is a classic system glitch that happens with offsets. It's their ancient computer system's way of saying "we're taking money but can't figure out how to display the date properly" 🤦‍♀️ The $130.88 offset is definitely being deducted from what they owe you - it's not a payment TO you. Your regular direct deposit of $219.74 should still hit your account on 11/21/2022 as scheduled. Here's what you need to do: 1. Check your online account under "Correspondence" for any notices 2. Call your bank to make sure your address is current (offsets often happen when notices go to old addresses) 3. Keep calling DOL or use that claimyr service to get through - you NEED to know what this offset is for The most common reasons for offsets are: - Old tax debt - Child support - Previous UI overpayments from years ago - Defaulted student loans Don't panic about the forfeit week - that's separate and won't affect current payments. But definitely figure out what that offset is ASAP because if it's an error, getting it fixed takes forever with their system. Document everything and keep screenshots!
