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

My unemployment funds were released last week but still haven't hit my bank account. This is for several months of back pay. The payment shows as released in the system but nothing has shown up. Does anyone know the normal timeframe for payments to show up after being released?

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 🏦

Check your payment history on the website. Sometimes they send it to the wrong account if you changed banks recently

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!
