New York Unemployment payment stopped - work search proof required after maternity

Same thing happened to me last month. Took about 10 days to get the letter and another week to get my payments back. Make sure you document ALL your work searches going forward, even small stuff like indeed applications

Hey I found a way to actually get someone on the phone fast. Used this site claimyr.com - its a service that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but was worth every penny for me. They even have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

They've been cracking down on work search requirements lately. You need to do minimum 3 job contacts per week and keep detailed records. Having a baby might qualify you for temporary exemption but you gotta explicitly request that 💯

yo this is actually rediculous...ur literally dealing with a newborn and they expect u to job search?! the system is 🤡

Listen up, here's what you need to do: First, while waiting for the letter, start documenting EVERYTHING. Use their work search record form from the website. Include: - Job applications - Resume submissions - Career fair attendance (virtual counts) - Network contacts For your situation with the newborn, you might qualify for temporary medical exemption. Call them back (use claimyr.com to get through faster) and specifically ask about this. Keep copies of everything you submit. The birth certificate was good but they need ongoing proof of work search or valid exemption. Don't wait for the letter to start this process. Better to have too much documentation than not enough!

check ur mail every single day fr. sometimes those letters come quick and have deadlines to respond
