Will NY unemployment benefits arrive Tuesday if I certify late on Sunday?

Had a crazy weekend and totally forgot to certify for my NY unemployment until 11:30pm on Sunday night. I usually certify Sunday morning and get paid by Tuesday. Will my payment still arrive on Tuesday or will it be delayed since I certified so late in the day? I really need the money for rent due on Wednesday...

As long as you certified before midnight on Sunday, you should still get paid on Tuesday. The system processes all Sunday certifications overnight regardless of what time you submitted it. I've certified as late as 11:55pm and still got paid on time.

Sometimes even if you certify Sunday night, there can be random delays in the system. If you don't see it Tuesday morning, don't panic right away - it might just show up later in the day. NY unemployment payment timing has been unpredictable lately.

That makes me nervous. Has anyone experienced delays recently? My rent is due Wednesday and I'm cutting it way too close.

I certified late one Sunday in January and DIDN'T get paid until WEDNESDAY!! No explanation from NYSDOL, of course. The system is so broken and they never tell you anything! I needed that money for my car payment and got hit with a late fee. I'm STILL angry about it!!!

My sister certifies late all the time (she works weekend nights) and she says it's never been an issue. I think it just depends on your bank too, some process the deposits faster than others. What bank do you use? I've noticed that with KeyBank the money hits earlier than when I was using Chase.

I'm with Bank of America. I didn't even think about the bank processing time being a factor. Now I'm really worried...

To give you the most accurate information: 1. Certifications completed anytime on Sunday (until 11:59pm) are processed in the same batch. 2. Payments are typically released on Monday (bank holidays can affect this) 3. Most banks show the deposit on Tuesday If you certified successfully (got a confirmation number), you should be fine. Check your payment history on the NY unemployment website tomorrow to see if it shows as "Released" - that's the most reliable indicator.

Thank you! I did get a confirmation number, so that's good. I'll check the payment history tomorrow morning. Really appreciate the detailed info.

I've never heard of that before. If my payment doesn't show up tomorrow I might need it. Thanks for sharing!

Great news! Glad it worked out. For future reference, you can set a weekly reminder on your phone so you don't cut it so close next time.
