Return to work date pushed back - Can I extend New York Unemployment benefits?

Same thing happened to me! Call unemployment asap and explain the situation. They need to know your employer changed the date. Make sure you have something in writing from your employer about the date change.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone! Used this service called claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold, then connects you when someone picks up. costs $20 but totally worth it cause i got through in like an hour. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Yo this is actually a huge problem rn. My company did the same thing THREE TIMES already. The whole system is broken fr fr 🤮

Listen up - heres what you need to do. First, document EVERYTHING. Get that new date in writing from ur employer. Then you gotta call unemployment ASAP. Use claimyr.com to get through (worth the $20 trust). Tell them exactly whats happening - the extension might depend on why they pushed the date. Also check if you qualify for other assistance programs while ur at it. Good luck!

idk if this helps but my benefits got extended when this happened to me last month. just had to prove my job actually changed the date

Your employer needs to stop playing games with peoples lives fr. This is getting ridiculous 😤
