Will my ny unemployment benefits run out before September 4th with a BYE date of 06/12/21?

The BYE date is just when your claim year ends, not when your money runs out. If you have $4,300 left, divide that by your weekly benefit amount to see how many weeks you have left. If that takes you past September 4, then you won't get all of it because thats when the federal extensions end. And yes, you'll need to recertify when you hit your BYE date even if you still have money left.

I was in the same boat but was having trouble reaching anyone when my BYE date came up. I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual person at unemployment in less than 30 mins. Talking to an agent got my benefits sorted immediately instead of waiting weeks. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

It's so frustrating that none of the official NY unemployment info clearly explains this stuff. I spent hours on their website trying to figure out the same thing last month. For what its worth, my BYE date was in April, I reapplied, and my benefits continued without issue.

You should be fine till September. I'm in a similar situation and talking to an agent they told me that even after BYE date, with the extensions in place you'll keep getting paid as long as you reapply right away. The system is automatically extending most claims anyway.

Nobody actually knows what's happening with the unemployment system 🤡 The rules seem to change weekly and different agents tell you different things. I literally had one agent tell me to reapply and another tell me NOT to reapply on the SAME DAY.

Listen up - I've been through this whole circus twice now. Here's exactly what happens with NY unemployment and BYE dates: 1. When you hit your BYE date, you MUST reapply even if you still have money in your account 2. If you're still unemployed for the same reason as your original claim, they'll usually just continue your existing claim 3. There might be a 1-2 week gap while they process it 4. The September 4 cutoff is real - no matter how much money is left in your account, federal benefits end then 5. Your benefit amount should stay the same as long as you didn't work enough during the year to establish a new claim If you have trouble reaching someone (and you probably will), I highly recommend using claimyr.com to get through to an agent. I was skeptical but it saved me weeks of frustration and my claim got fixed in one call. You should be fine with your balance, but don't wait until the last minute to deal with your BYE date.

lol nysdol really wants us to jump through hoops just to get what we're entitled to 🤦‍♀️ the whole system needs an overhaul

Just went thru this last month. Called for 2 weeks straight with no luck. My payments stopped completely after my BYE date even though I had a good chunk of money left. Eventually used claimyr.com to get through to someone and they fixed it in 10 minutes. Apparently there was a flag on my account that only an agent could remove.

Something nobody mentioned - if you worked AT ALL during your benefit year (even part time), it can complicate your reapplication. Make sure you report all work when you reapply or they might flag you for fraud later.

unpopular opinion: everyone needs to stop relying on unemployment and find a job. every restaurant and retail place is hiring rn

Check your payment history on the ny unemployment website. It tells you exactly how many effective days you have left. Each effective day is 1/4 of your weekly benefit. So 4 effective days = 1 week of benefits.

These unemployment questions are getting too complicated for reddit tbh. I'd call and ask a specialist. You'll need to talk to NYSDOL eventually for the BYE date stuff anyway.
