New York Unemployment payment released but nothing in bank account after 5 days

Usually takes 2-3 business days max for direct deposit. Something ain't right here. You should def call them asap and check if there's an issue with your banking info 🏦

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com - they dial and wait on hold, then call you when an agent picks up. Costs $20 but totally worth it after trying to call for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Same thing happened to me last month. Turns out they had my old debit card info. Had to wait 2 weeks for a new card to come in the mail 😤

Listen up, here's what you need to do: First, check your payment history on the portal - make sure the banking info is correct. If it shows released but no deposit, there's usually three possibilities: 1. Wrong bank info on file 2. Payment got rejected by bank 3. System glitch on their end Best way to resolve is getting an agent on the phone. Save yourself the headache and use claimyr.com - they'll get you through to someone. Yeah it costs money but when you're waiting on months of backpay its worth it. If you can't get through, go to your local labor office first thing in the morning. Bring all your docs and payment history printouts. DON'T wait longer than a week after release date to take action!

bruh ny unemployment system is straight garbage these days lmaoo

Make sure u didn't have any overpayments from before. They might be holding it to pay that back first

Had the exact same issue last month! Payment showed released for over a week with nothing in my account. Turned out my bank (Chase) was holding it for "fraud review" because it was a large amount. Called my bank first and they told me about the hold - unemployment office had no clue. Might be worth calling your bank before dealing with the DOL nightmare hotline 📞

This happened to me too! After 6 days of no deposit, I called my bank (Bank of America) and they said the payment was there but flagged for manual review because of the large amount. They released it within an hour once I confirmed it was legit. Definitely call your bank first - saved me from dealing with the DOL phone maze! 🏦✨

Check with your bank ASAP! Same thing happened to my sister - payment showed released for a week but her credit union was holding it for fraud review because of the large backpay amount. Once she called and verified it was legitimate unemployment, they released it same day. Banks often flag big government payments automatically. Way easier than trying to get through to DOL! 💰
