What happens if i stop certifying for unemployment benefits in NY?

So I won't lose my whole claim? That's good to know. Do I need to tell them I'm stopping or can I just not file next week?

This is really important - I know someone who got an overpayment notice for not reporting work during a gap in certification.

No, missing one week doesn't mess everything up. You can still file for that missed week, but you need to do it soon. Log into your my.ny.gov account and see if the missed week is still available to certify.

I had the same problem trying to reach NYS Department of Labor about my adjudication issue. Kept getting busy signals or hung up on after waiting forever. Someone on here mentioned this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to unemployment agents by phone. I tried it and actually got connected to someone at NYS Department of Labor within like 20 minutes. There's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Check out claimyr.com if you're tired of the runaround.

Thanks I'll check that out. At this point I'm willing to try anything to get some actual answers about my claim.

This is really helpful advice! I didn't realize you could work part-time and still get partial benefits. Do you know roughly how they calculate the partial payments? Like if I work 20 hours a week at $15/hour, would I still get something from unemployment or does it depend on how much my weekly benefit amount is?

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi In NY, they use a formula where you can earn up to 1/4 of your weekly benefit amount without any reduction. Anything above that gets deducted from your benefits. So if your weekly benefit is $400, you can earn up to $100 with no reduction. If you earn $300 that week, they'd deduct $200 from your $400 benefit, leaving you with $200 from unemployment plus your $300 in wages. It's usually worth it to keep certifying and report the part-time work rather than stopping completely.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex but basically they subtract your gross weekly earnings from your weekly benefit rate, but there s'a small earnings disregard I (think it s'like $50 or so .)So if your weekly benefit amount is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time, you d'still get some unemployment but it would be reduced. The exact formula is on the NYS DOL website under partial unemployment benefits. It s'definitely worth continuing to certify and reporting the part-time work rather than stopping completely!

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is actually pretty straightforward. They take your gross earnings for the week and subtract $50 that (s'your disregard "amount" you can earn without any reduction .)Then they subtract 25% of whatever s'left over from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 in a week $15 (x 20 hours ,)you d'get: $300 - $50 = $250, then $250 x 0.25 = $62.50 reduction. So you d'get $300 - $62.50 = $237.50 in unemployment benefits plus your $300 in wages. Much better than getting nothing if you stop certifying completely!

The partial benefit calculation in NY can be tricky. Generally, you can earn up to $143 per week (as of 2024) without any reduction to your benefits. After that, they deduct 25% of your earnings above $143 from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time ($300 - $143 = $157 over the threshold, $157 × 0.25 = $39.25 reduction), you'd get $260.75 that week. But definitely double-check the current earnings threshold on the NYS DOL website since these numbers can change annually.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complicated but here s'the basic formula: they subtract 25% of your gross weekly earnings from your full weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time, you d'get $300 - 25% (of $300 =) $300 - $75 = $225 from unemployment. But you can only work up to 3 days per week and your total earnings can t'exceed 1.5 times your weekly benefit rate or you get nothing. In your example with 20 hours at $15/hour $300 (gross ,)it would depend on what your original weekly benefit amount is.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complicated but here's the basic formula: they subtract 25% of your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $400 and you earn $300 gross in a week, you'd get $400 - (0.25 × $300) = $325 in partial benefits. But there's also a cap - you can't earn more than your weekly benefit amount plus $50 and still be eligible for any benefits. So with a $400 weekly benefit, you'd lose all benefits if you earn more than $450 gross in a week. The exact calculation can vary based on your specific situation, but that's the general rule.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is pretty straightforward. They take your gross weekly earnings and subtract $50 that (s'the earnings disregard ,)then subtract the remainder from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 gross $15 (x 20 hours ,)you d'get: $300 - $300 (- $50 =) $50 in unemployment benefits. As long as your earnings don t'exceed your weekly benefit amount by more than $50, you ll'get something. It s'definitely worth continuing to certify rather than stopping completely!

The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex but basically they deduct your earnings from your weekly benefit amount minus the first $50 you earn (that's your "earnings disregard"). So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time, you'd get $300 - ($300 - $50) = $50 in unemployment benefits. But if you earn more than your weekly benefit amount plus $50, you get nothing for that week. It's usually worth it to keep certifying and reporting the part-time work rather than stopping completely.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex, but basically they deduct your earnings from your weekly benefit amount. If you work 20 hours at $15/hour, that's $300 gross. NYS has a $50 earnings disregard, so they'd subtract $250 from your weekly benefit amount. If your weekly benefit is say $400, you'd get $150 that week. But if your earnings are too high compared to your benefit amount, you might not get anything for that week. The key is that even if you get $0 some weeks due to high earnings, your claim stays active as long as you keep certifying.

The partial benefit calculation in NY can be a bit tricky. Generally, you can earn up to a certain amount before it affects your benefits - I think it's around $143 per week (but this changes, so double check). After that, they reduce your benefits by 25% of what you earn over that threshold. So in your example with 20 hours at $15/hour ($300/week), you'd probably see a significant reduction in your unemployment payment, but you might still get something depending on your weekly benefit amount. The key thing is that your total income (job + reduced unemployment) will usually be more than just unemployment alone, so it's worth reporting and staying active rather than stopping your claim completely.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex, but basically they subtract your earnings from your weekly benefit amount with some allowances. You can earn up to $143 per week without any reduction to your benefits. Above that, they reduce your benefit dollar-for-dollar for every dollar you earn over $143. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time, you d'get $300 - $300 (- $143 =) $143 in unemployment benefits. It s'usually worth it to keep certifying and reporting the work rather than stopping completely.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is based on your weekly benefit amount (WBA). Generally, you can earn up to about 25% of your WBA without any reduction. After that, they deduct $1 from your benefits for every $4 you earn over that threshold. So if your WBA is $400 and you earn $300 in a week ($15 x 20 hours), you'd likely still get some partial benefits. But definitely report all earnings when you certify - they cross-check with wage records and overpayments are a real headache to deal with later.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex, but basically they subtract 25% of your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 working part-time, you'd get $300 - (25% of $300) = $300 - $75 = $225 in unemployment benefits. But there are also some earnings you can make without any reduction - I think it's around $50 per week that doesn't count against you at all. The exact formula is on the NYS DOL website, but definitely worth continuing to certify rather than stopping completely if you're only working part-time.

For partial benefits in NY, they use a formula where you can earn up to a certain amount before your benefits start getting reduced. From what I remember, you can earn up to 25% of your weekly benefit amount without any reduction. After that, they deduct dollar-for-dollar from your benefits. So if your weekly benefit is $400 and you earn $300 in a week, you'd get $200 in unemployment ($400 - ($300 - $100 allowance) = $200). The exact calculation can be tricky though, so definitely report everything accurately when you certify.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complicated but basically they take your gross weekly earnings and subtract $50 that (s'your earnings disregard .)Then they subtract the remaining amount from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 gross $15 (x 20 hours ,)you d'get $300 - $300 (- $50 =) $50 in partial benefits. But if you earn more than your weekly benefit amount plus $50, you get nothing that week. The key is that working part-time often pays off more than not working at all, even with reduced benefits.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is pretty straightforward. They take your weekly benefit amount and subtract your gross earnings minus $50 that (s'your earnings disregard .)So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 gross working part-time, you d'get $300 - $300 (- $50 =) $50 in unemployment benefits. If you earn less than $50, you get your full benefit amount. Just make sure to report all earnings honestly when you certify - they cross-reference with wage records anyway.

So in your example with 20 hours at $15/hour ($300 gross), it would depend on what your weekly benefit amount is. If it's $300 or more, you'd still get partial benefits. If it's less than $300, you wouldn't qualify for that week.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex but here s'the basic formula: they take your weekly benefit rate and subtract 25% of any earnings over $143. So if your weekly benefit amount is $300 and you earn $300 from part-time work, you d'get $300 - 0.25 (× $300-$143 (=)) $300 - $39.25 = $260.75 in unemployment benefits. The key is that you have to work less than 4 days AND earn less than your weekly benefit amount to qualify for partial benefits. At 20 hours/$15 per hour that s'$300/week, so it really depends on what your weekly benefit rate is.

The partial benefit calculation in NY works like this: they take your weekly benefit amount and subtract 25% of what you earn from working (after the first $50). So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 from part-time work, you'd get $300 - (0.25 × $250) = $237.50. The $50 is excluded from the calculation. You can still collect partial benefits as long as your total earnings don't exceed your weekly benefit amount by too much. It's definitely worth staying active and reporting the work rather than stopping your claim completely!

You should definitely report it though - working part-time while on unemployment is totally allowed and better than stopping your claim completely.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is pretty straightforward - they subtract your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount, but you get to keep the first $50 you earn without any reduction. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $200 that week, you'd get $300 - $200 + $50 = $150 in unemployment benefits. At $15/hour for 20 hours that's $300 gross, so if your weekly benefit amount is around $350 or higher, you'd still get some unemployment money. The key is staying under 4 days of work per week to remain eligible.

So if your weekly benefit is $400 and you earn $300 working part-time, you'd get $325 in unemployment ($400 minus 25% of $300 which is $75). The exact calculation can get a bit complicated with different scenarios, but the key is that working part-time usually doesn't eliminate your benefits entirely. You just need to report all your hours and earnings accurately when you certify each week.

You should definitely continue certifying even with part-time work - it's much easier than stopping and restarting.

The key is to always report your earnings accurately when you certify - they cross-check with employers so trying to hide income will just cause problems later.

The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex but here's the basic formula: they take your gross weekly earnings, subtract $50 (that's your allowable earnings), then subtract that amount from your weekly benefit rate. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 gross in a week, you'd get $300 - ($300 - $50) = $50 in unemployment benefits. But if you earn more than your weekly benefit rate plus $50, you won't get any unemployment for that week. At 20 hours × $15 = $300 gross, you'd likely still qualify for some benefits depending on your weekly rate.

NYS has a formula for partial benefits - they deduct 25% of your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $400 and you earn $300 gross, they'd subtract $75 (25% of $300) from your $400, leaving you with $325 in benefits. But there are limits - you can't earn more than your weekly benefit amount and still get anything. At $15/hour for 20 hours, that's $300 gross, so you'd need a weekly benefit of at least $300 to get partial payments. The exact calculation can be tricky though, so it's worth using their online calculator or calling to confirm.

@Fatima Al-Suwaidi The partial benefit calculation in NY is a bit complex but basically they deduct your gross earnings from your weekly benefit amount, minus the first $50 you earn that (s'your disregard "amount" .)So if your weekly benefit is say $300 and you earn $300 from part-time work, you d'get $300 - $300 (- $50 =) $50 in unemployment benefits. But you can only work up to 3 days per week to remain eligible. If you work 4 or more days, you get nothing for that week even if you earned less money.

The partial benefit calculation in NY can be a bit tricky, but here's how it generally works: they take your gross weekly earnings and subtract $50 (that's your "disregard" amount you can earn without any reduction). Then they subtract 25% of whatever's left from your weekly benefit amount. So if your weekly benefit is $300 and you earn $300 gross ($15 x 20 hours), you'd subtract $50 to get $250, then take 25% of that ($62.50) and subtract it from your $300 benefit. You'd get about $237.50 that week plus your work earnings. But definitely report everything accurately when you certify - the math can get complicated with taxes and other deductions.
