Why does my unemployment payment show an "Offset" of $130.88 with release date 11/30/0002 alongside my regular Direct Deposit?
I checked my payment history and I'm confused. According to my payment summary, I have some weird dates and amounts that don't make sense. Here's what I'm seeing in my payment history: Week Ending Total Amount Net Amount Effective Days Release Date Type 11/20/2022 $130.88 $130.88 O 11/30/0002 Offset 11/20/2022 $251.12 $219.74 4 11/21/2022 Direct Deposit 11/13/2022 $0.00 $0.00 4 11/10/2022 Forfeit 11/06/2022 $0.00 $0.00 4 11/09/2022 Waiting week My latest payment for the week ending 11/20/2022 shows two different amounts. One is a direct deposit for $219.74 with a normal release date of 11/21/2022, but there's another payment showing $130.88 with a weird release date of 11/30/0002 and it's listed as "Offset" type. What does this mean for my payment today? Is the offset amount being taken out of my payment? Why does it have that strange date of 11/30/0002? And why are there two different payment entries for the same week ending 11/20/2022? Will I receive the full amount or just the direct deposit portion? Also, I notice I have a "Forfeit" status for the week ending 11/13/2022. Does this affect anything?

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

•Could be old taxes, child support, or overpayment from before. You should get a letter explaining it soon

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

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.
