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! 💪

I'm dealing with the exact same issue right now - filed 3 weeks ago and still showing $0.00. Really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here! @Esteban Tate your advice about checking the Messages section is super helpful, gonna do that right now. It's so frustrating not being able to get through on the phone but sounds like persistence is key. At least knowing I'm not alone in this makes me feel a bit better 😅
