Will NY unemployment max benefit amount continue after federal $300 ended?

Yes, the regular state unemployment continues. Only the $300 federal enhancement ended. Whatever your weekly benefit amount was from NY state (before the $300 was added) will continue until your benefit year ends or you exhaust your available weeks.

After weeks of calling and never getting thru, I found this site called claimyr.com and they got me a callback with a real live agent within an hour! Talking to the agent cleared up all my confusion and my payments started flowing again. Best decision I made after dealing with this nightmare for so long. They have a youtube video explaining how it works too: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Maximum benefit amount continues. Only the federal $300 supplement is gone. I just got my payment yesterday and it was just my regular state amount (in my case $504). Nothin we can do about losin the extra sadly 😑

I just certified this week and only got the state portion. The federal part is completely done. No extension, nothing. That extra money was keeping me afloat and now I'm screwed. Thanks government 😡

The maximum NY state benefit is $504 per week and that will continue until your benefit year ends or you use all your available weeks. The only thing that ended was the federal supplement ($300). You should keep certifying as normal each week.

Here's a complete breakdown of what's actually happening with NY unemployment right now: What ENDED on 9/5: - The $300 Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) - Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program - Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) program What CONTINUES: - Regular NYS Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits (max $504 per week) - Your regular benefit amount remains the same - Normal certification requirements remain in place If you have weeks remaining in your regular UI benefit year, you'll continue receiving your regular weekly benefit amount, which is calculated based on your previous earnings. If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYSDOL (which is extremely common), I highly recommend using claimyr.com - it's a service that will get you a callback from an actual agent within hours instead of days or weeks of calling. Absolute lifesaver when you need to resolve issues with your claim. Hope this helps clear things up for everyone!

Anyone else notice their payment is delayed this week? Usually hits my account Tuesday morning but nothing yet...

I called DOL yesterday and they confirmed regular benefits continue as normal. The lady told me we'll still get whatever our weekly benefit rate was MINUS the $300 federal supplement that expired.

this sucks so bad i cant even pay rent now without that extra $300 😢

Can someone explain why they ended the federal benefit when covid is STILL HAPPENING? make it make sense 🤦‍♀️

Just got off the phone with NY unemployment (waited 2.5 hours btw). They said regular unemployment continues like normal, just without the extra $300. So if you were getting let's say $450 from the state + $300 federal, now you'll just get the $450.

Anyone else think its weird they didn't send any kind of official notice about this? I had to figure it out from reddit and twitter smh

I'm so confused about whats happening with my claim. When I certified this week my payment is pending review?? It never did this before. Anyone else?

good luck everyone. been on unemployment since april 2021 and the system is a nightmare to deal with. hope we all find good jobs soon!
