When will UI benefits resume after overpayment issue? (NYDOL)

Ugh, overpayments are the worst! 😫 I went through something similar last year. It took me about 3 weeks to get it sorted out. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? That's usually the best way to get answers.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what you need to know about overpayments and getting your benefits back: • First, make sure you understand why the overpayment occurred. Was it a mistake on your part or theirs? • If it was their mistake, you can file an appeal. Do this ASAP as there are usually strict deadlines. • If it was your mistake, you'll likely need to repay the amount before benefits resume. • You can often set up a repayment plan if you can't pay it all at once. • Keep certifying for benefits each week, even if you're not receiving payments. • Document EVERYTHING. Every call, letter, and interaction with the unemployment office. • Be prepared for a wait. These issues can take weeks or even months to resolve. Hang in there, OP. It's a frustrating process, but it will get sorted out eventually.

have you tried reaching out to your local state rep? sometimes they can help speed things up with unemployment issues

oof, overpayments are such a headache 🤕 the whole system is so broken. good luck OP, hope you get it sorted soon!

Quick question - did you receive a notice about the overpayment? There should be instructions on there about how to proceed. If you didn't get one, that could be part of the problem.

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree just to navigate the unemployment system? 🤔 It shouldn't be this complicated!
