When will I get first NY unemployment payment after waiting week of September 9th?

The waiting week is unpaid in New York. You won't get payment for that week. After you certify for your first PAYABLE week (which would be the week after your waiting week), you should receive payment within 3-5 business days. So if your waiting week ended September 9th, you should have certified for your first payable week this past Sunday, and payment should arrive by Thursday or Friday.

most ppl get it on tuesday or wednesday after they certify on sunday. depends on ur bank tho

Did you set up direct deposit? I made that mistake my first time and was waiting for a deposit but they actually mailed me a debit card which took like 2 weeks to arrive.

A few things that could be happening here: 1. Your claim might be under review. This is very common for first-time filers. 2. There might be an identity verification issue. 3. Your bank info might have an error despite triple-checking. If it's been more than 3 business days since you certified for your first payable week, I recommend calling NYSDOL to check on your claim status. You can also check your payment history online - if it shows "pending" that usually means there's a review happening.

Omg I'm going through the EXACT SAME THING!! My waiting week was Sept 2 and I certified on the 9th AND the 16th and still NOTHING in my account!!! The website says pending for both weeks and when I called the automated system it said something about my claim being under review but didn't explain WHY?!? I'm seriously about to panic because my car payment is due next week and I have NO IDEA what's happening!!!!

I was in this same situation last month. "Pending review" can take FOREVER if you just wait it out. After 2 weeks of nothing, I tried calling but couldn't get through to anyone for days. Finally used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent (they have this system that calls for you until they get a representative, then connects you - there's a demo at https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE). The agent told me they needed additional employment verification which I never would have known. Once I sent that in, payment was released within 48 hours. Definitely recommend calling rather than just waiting - there's probably something specific they need from you.

Mine was under review because my employer disputed my eligibility. They claimed I quit but I was actually laid off. Had to wait almost a MONTH for them to sort it out and didn't get a PENNY until it was resolved. The system is totally BROKEN!!!

@OP - To answer your question - yes, they told me exactly why my claim was under review. In my case it was because I had worked in two different states within the past 18 months, so they needed to verify my out-of-state wages. The important thing is that I would never have known this if I hadn't spoken to someone. The online system just says "pending review" with no details.

Yes, if you worked in multiple states, they may need to verify your wages through an interstate claim process. This typically adds 2-3 weeks to the initial claim processing time. For the original poster, there could be many reasons for a review - income verification, identity verification, employer response, etc. The important thing is to contact NYSDOL directly to find out what's needed in your specific case.

nice! glad u got it figured out. the system is so confusing for new people

This happened to my cousin too - the identity verification thing. Once he uploaded his documents it took exactly 2 days and then all the pending payments came through at once. So you should be good soon!
