New York Unemployment Payment Timeline: Got First Payment Through Cash App Today!
Just wanted to update everyone on my unemployment payment timeline. After my unpaid waiting week, I certified on Sunday and got my first payment through Cash App today! Way faster than expected. Make sure you answer the certification questions correctly - one wrong answer can delay everything (learned that the hard way). BTW, thanks for suggesting to call the governor's office about my phone issues last month - got through in 5 mins and fixed everything!

Congrats! 🎉 I'm still waiting on mine, been 2 weeks since I certified. Did you have to do anything special to set up Cash App for the deposit?

If anyone's still struggling to get through on the phone, I used claimyr.com and it worked great. Yeah it costs $20 but they dial and wait on hold, then connect you when a real person picks up. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's a detailed breakdown for anyone new to NY unemployment: First week = waiting week (unpaid) Certify every Sunday on the website Payments usually hit 2-3 days after certification Double check ALL answers when certifying Keep detailed work search records Use claimyr.com if you need to reach someone (saves hours) Check payment status on the website Make sure your direct deposit info is correct Hope this helps! Been through the process 2x now and learned the ropes.
