New York Unemployment: When exactly can I claim benefits? Tonight at midnight or tomorrow?
This is my first time filing for unemployment benefits in New York. Really confused about when to submit my weekly claim. Do I do it now or wait until midnight? Don't want to mess this up and have my payment delayed.

You can claim starting Sunday at 12:01 AM till Saturday 12 midnight. Most people do it Sunday morning to get paid faster. I usually do mine around 7:30 AM on Sunday and get paid Tuesday.

Hey I had trouble reaching them at first but found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Pro tip: The website gets mad busy Sunday morning and sometimes crashes. I wait till Sunday afternoon its way easier to get in and claim
