New York Unemployment: Payments showing released but not in bank account

This happened to me last month! Check if the bank account info is correct on your payment method page. Sometimes the system glitches and the routing number gets messed up 🤔

Hey I actually found a way to get someone on the phone about this! Used claimyr.com - its this service that calls and waits on hold then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but was worth it to finally talk to someone and fix my payment issue. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Its probably becuz of the holiday weekend. Banks dont process stuff on weekends or holidays. Give it 2-3 business days

MAJOR PAYMENT DELAYS RN!!! I'm in the same boat, along with like half the people in my FB group. System is straight trash 🤮

Here's what you need to know about NY unemployment payments: First, it typically takes 3-5 business days after release for payments to show up. But several things could cause delays: - Bank verification issues - Holiday processing delays - System maintenance - Payment method changes - Identity verification flags Best way to resolve is getting through to a rep. I recommend using claimyr.com to get past the phone maze. Otherwise you might spend days trying to get through. Also check your payment history daily and screenshot everything. Document all communication with reps (names, ID numbers, dates).

wait til u see how long back pay takes lololol 👀

I had this exact same issue a few months ago! Three weeks of "released" payments just sitting there while I'm checking my account obsessively. Turns out there was a backend processing error that flagged my account for manual review without anyone telling me. The rep I finally got through to said it happens more often than they admit. She had to manually push the payments through and they showed up the next day. Definitely keep calling until you get someone who actually digs into your account instead of just saying "everything looks fine" - that's usually code for "I don't want to investigate further" 😤

Ugh I'm dealing with this too! Been waiting almost 2 weeks now with payments showing "released" but nothing in my account. Called twice and both times got the same "everything looks good on our end" response. Reading through these comments is actually making me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this mess. Definitely going to try calling again tomorrow and specifically ask about manual review flags and backend processing errors like @StellarSurfer mentioned. This whole system is such a nightmare 😫

Same issue here! My payments have been stuck on "released" for 5 days now and I'm getting desperate. Reading all these comments makes me realize this is way more common than they let on. Definitely going to call tomorrow and specifically ask about manual review flags and backend processing errors like everyone's suggesting. Has anyone tried going to a local office in person instead of calling? Wondering if that might be more effective than dealing with the phone system nightmare. This whole situation is so stressful when you're already struggling financially 😰

This is happening to SO many people right now! I've been dealing with the same thing for the past week - three payments showing "released" but my bank account is still empty. After reading through all these comments, I'm definitely going to call tomorrow and specifically ask about manual review flags and backend processing errors like @StellarSurfer mentioned. It's crazy that we have to become detective investigators just to get our own benefits! Has anyone had luck with calling at a specific time of day? I've been trying in the mornings but wondering if afternoons might be better. This whole system is such a mess and it's causing so much unnecessary stress when people are already struggling 😔

Just wanted to add my experience for anyone else dealing with this - I had the exact same issue last year where payments showed "released" for almost 3 weeks but never hit my account. Turns out there was some kind of security flag on my account that nobody mentioned until I got the right rep. What finally worked for me was calling and specifically asking them to check for "payment holds," "security reviews," and "processing flags" on my account. Don't let them give you the basic "everything looks good" response - ask them to actually pull up your payment details and check the status codes. Also, if the first rep can't help, politely ask for a supervisor or to have your case escalated. It's frustrating that we have to be so persistent but unfortunately that seems to be the only way to get real help with these payment issues. Hang in there everyone! 🙏
