New York Unemployment shows $0.00 after 4 weeks - no payments

Same boat here fam. Been stuck at 0.00 for 3 weeks. Pretty sure they need to verify your wages but good luck getting anyone on the phone 🤡

Found a way to actually get through! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but worth every penny tbh. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what you need to know about the $0.00 balance issue: First, keep filing your weekly claims no matter what. This is super important because once they fix it, they'll backdate your payments. Common reasons for $0 balance: - They need additional wage verification - Your employer hasn't responded to their request - Identity verification pending - System glitch Best solution is getting through to an agent. Try claimyr.com if you're tired of calling. They'll wait on hold and connect you to an agent. Don't give up - once you get someone on the phone they can usually fix it pretty quick.

did u work in multiple states? that usually causes the 0.00 thing

check ur spam folder maybe they sent u something important there. happened to me lol

ny unemployment website is straight garbage... been dealing with them since 2020 and nothings changed smh

Hey @GalaxyGuardian, I went through the exact same thing last month. The $0.00 balance is usually because they're waiting on wage verification from your employer or need you to submit additional documents. A few things that helped me: - Log into your account and check the "Messages" section - sometimes they request docs there - Make sure you uploaded your most recent pay stubs if you haven't already - Keep filing weekly no matter what (this is key!) I know it's frustrating but once they process everything, you'll get all the back payments. Took about 6 weeks total for me but got a nice lump sum when it finally went through. Hang in there! 💪

Ugh, this is so relatable! I've been stuck at $0.00 for 2 weeks now and it's driving me crazy. Really helpful to see all the advice here - definitely going to check my Messages section like @Esteban Tate suggested since I might have missed something important. Also considering that claimyr service @Natasha Volkova mentioned since I'm getting nowhere with regular calling. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, makes me feel less alone in this mess! 🤞
