New York Unemployment showing $0 balance after approval letter - what's the hold up?

Same exact thing happened to me. Took about 2.5 weeks after getting the monetary letter before the balance updated and payments started coming through. The system is slow af rn 🐌

I finally got through using claimyr.com - paid $20 but worth it cause they got me connected to a rep who fixed my account right away. Check out their demo here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what you need to know about $0 balance issues: First, don't panic - this is actually pretty common right now. The system often shows $0 while they process your claim in the background. Here's what to do: 1. Keep certifying weekly even with $0 showing 2. Check your payment history daily 3. If nothing changes in 3 weeks, definitely call them 4. Document everything If you need to call, use claimyr.com - they'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Costs money but saves hours of frustration. Once they fix it, you'll get all backpay at once. Hang in there!

dont wait til friday lol call them asap. sometimes they say stuff will happen automatically but it doesnt 🤡

Check ur email spam folder. Sometimes they send important notices there and ur claim stays pending until u respond

took me 6 weeks to get my first payment. the whole system is held together with duct tape and prayers istg
