When will my ny unemployment benefits actually end if I still have weeks left?

You need to file a new claim. When your benefit year ends, you have to reapply regardless of how many days you have left. The system just doesn't automatically remove those days from your account display - it's a glitch that confuses EVERYONE. I tried to continue claiming after my BYE date and got a message saying my benefits were on hold.

After struggling with the same exact issue, I tried calling for TWO WEEKS straight with no luck. Then I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me a callback with an actual agent! Saved me from the endless phone tree hell. The agent confirmed I needed to file a new claim and helped me do it right there on the call. Best money I ever spent to get this resolved - talking to an agent got my payments back on track in days instead of weeks. Check out their explainer here: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I was in the same boat - had like 59 days left but my BYE was in May. Called and the rep told me I HAD to file a new claim. Did that, and had to wait about 10 days for it to process, but then I got retroactive payments for the weeks I missed. Don't wait!

You 100% need to file a new claim ASAP!! The system is stupid af and shows remaining days even after your benefit year ends. If you try to certify with those remaining days after your BYE date, you'll get stuck in limbo and potentially trigger a fraud investigation (happened to my roommate). File new claim now and save yourself the headache 👍

Everyone is giving you different info bc the NY unemployment system is inconsistent AF. I had the exact problem back in February. When I called after 80+ attempts, one rep told me to keep claiming, another told me to refile. What worked for me was filing a new claim, but continuing to certify on my old claim until the new one was approved. That way I didn't miss any payments.

The NYSDOL website is so outdated and confusing! 😤 I work at a community legal aid office and help people with unemployment issues. Here's what you need to know: • When your benefit year ends, you MUST file a new claim even if you have days remaining • Your benefit amount may change based on your work history in the past 18 months • Continue to certify weekly while your new claim processes • If your new claim is denied but you still have days on your old claim, you may be able to get an extension (rare but possible) • The fastest way to resolve issues is to speak directly with an agent For anyone struggling to reach someone by phone, I recommend using Claimyr.com - many of our clients have had success with it. It's a service that waits on hold for you and connects you when a live agent is on the line. Feel free to ask any questions!

Not extending those remaining days past your BYE date is literally the dumbest design flaw in the whole system. Why show days if you can't use them??? 🤦‍♂️ I went through this last year and spent 4 hrs on hold only to be told I needed a new claim.

The whole NY unemployment system is designed to confuse people so they give up and don't collect benefits they're entitled to. CHANGE MY MIND.

Exact Same thing hapend to me!!!! file a new claim and KEEP CERTIFYING in the meantime. They eventually backpaid me for the weeks during the transition but it took like 3 weeks to process the new claim bc theyre so freakin slow

From personal experience: Just because you have days left doesn't mean you'll get an extension. Your benefit year is exactly that - one year. After that you need a new claim. The fact that they don't make this clear anywhere on the website is criminal.

lol ny unemployment system is such a joke. still living with 1990s technology in 2022 smh

If your benefit year ends, those 'remaining days' don't matter. I ignored this advice and kept certifying. Ended up with a huge mess and had to repay 3 weeks of benefits because they considered it fraudulent even though THEIR SYSTEM let me certify! Don't be me! File a new claim immediately!

Just wondering if anybody else tried calling the unemployment office? I'm at 43 consecutive calls today and still can't get through 😡

Plot twist: the 48 days you have left are a mirage. The system is trolling you. File a new claim or face the wrath of NYSDOL's passive-aggressive automated letters of doom.

Has anyone actually gotten through to a human being at ny unemployment recently? I feel like I'm trying to call into a radio contest or something... just constant busy signals and disconnects.
