What time does NYS Department of Labor deposit unemployment money into bank accounts?
I'm expecting my weekly unemployment payment from NYS Department of Labor today but it's already 2pm and nothing's shown up in my checking account yet. Does anyone know what time they usually deposit the money? My bank says they don't hold deposits so it should show up as soon as they send it. Getting worried something went wrong with my claim.

NYS Department of Labor typically processes payments early morning around 3-4 AM on Tuesday if you certified on Monday. But it depends on your bank too - some banks don't show the deposit until later in the day even though the money is there. What day did you file your weekly claim?

•I certified Sunday night like I always do. Usually see it by noon on Tuesday but nothing yet today.

•Same here! Always Tuesday morning super early. If you're not seeing it by now something might be wrong with your claim status.

Check your payment history on the NYS Department of Labor website first. Log into your account and see if the payment shows as 'released' or if there's any hold on it. Sometimes they put payments on hold for verification and don't always notify you right away.

•Good idea, let me check that now. The website is so slow though, takes forever to load.

I had this happen last month and it turned out my claim was under review for some job search requirement issue. Took me 3 weeks to get through to someone at NYS Department of Labor to fix it. The phone system is absolutely horrible - kept getting disconnected after waiting on hold for hours.

•If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone, I used this service called Claimyr that helped me reach an agent quickly. They have a website at claimyr.com and there's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Worth checking out if you need to talk to someone urgently about your payment issue.

Usually Tuesday mornings but I've had it show up as late as Wednesday before when there were system issues. Don't panic yet!

I've been on unemployment for about 6 months now and I've noticed the timing can vary a bit. Most weeks it hits my account between 6-8 AM on Tuesday, but I've had it come as late as 10 AM sometimes. Since you certified Sunday night, I'd give it until end of business today before worrying. Also double-check that your direct deposit info hasn't changed in your account - sometimes bank mergers or account updates can cause delays even if you didn't change anything on your end.
