Will my ny unemployment payment be delayed if I certified late Sunday night?

You should be fine. As long as you certified before midnight on Sunday, your payment should still show up on Tuesday as usual. The system processes all Sunday certifications overnight, doesn't matter if you did it at 8am or 11:59pm.

After months of not being able to reach anyone at NY unemployment, I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual human being within an hour! Talking to an agent got my payment issues sorted out in minutes - it was the only way I could talk to a live agent after weeks of trying. They have this cool system that waits on hold for you then calls you when an agent picks up. Check out this video too: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

I certify every week at like 9pm Sunday and my deposit hits Tuesday around 10am. You should be good. The cutoff is midnight.

Generally, as long as you certify before midnight Sunday, you'll get paid on your normal schedule. BUT I have noticed that when the system is super busy (like at the end of a quarter or during holidays), sometimes even on-time certifications can be delayed by a day. Cross your fingers but don't panic if it's a little later than usual.

From my experience with ny unemployment, anything certified on Sunday (regardless of time) gets processed in the same batch. I've certified as late as 11:57pm and still got paid Tuesday. The website gets slow af close to midnight tho so dont cut it THAT close lol

Here's the FULL breakdown on payment timing with NY unemployment based on certification time: Certify Sunday (ANY time before midnight) = Tuesday deposit Certify Monday = Wednesday deposit Certify Tuesday = Thursday deposit Certify Wednesday = Friday deposit Certify Thursday/Friday/Saturday = Following Tuesday deposit BUT... if there's a holiday or technical issues, add 1-2 days. Also, the first 2-3 weeks of a new claim can be irregular timing while they verify everything. Hope this helps! If you need to talk to someone about a payment issue, you can try calling nonstop, OR use claimyr.com which has been a lifesaver for many people here. They wait on hold and connect you with an agent when one is available.

Time doesn't matter as long as it's before midnight, but if the website was glitchy when you submitted (which happens ALL THE TIME late Sunday night when everyone's rushing to certify), there could be a delay. Did you get a confirmation number after submitting?

The NYSDOL website is such garbage. I certified on time last week and my payment was still delayed by 2 days for no reason. Their system is held together with duct tape and prayers 🤮

I've been on UI for 3 months now and the payment has hit my account every Tuesday between 9-11am, even when I certified at 11:45pm Sunday. One time it came Wednesday but that was because of Memorial Day.

You'll be fine! But for future reference, you can actually certify anytime during the week for the previous week. You don't HAVE to do it Sunday. I usually do mine on Monday morning and get paid Wednesday.

It depends on your bank too! Some banks process ACH transfers faster than others. I'm with a credit union and sometimes get my deposit Monday night, while my roommate with Bank of America always gets it Tuesday morning.

When I was on unemployment last year I used to certify Sunday night all the time. Payment always hit Tuesday by noon like clockwork. The system doesn't care what time on Sunday you do it.

Sometimes the site is just slow AF on Sunday nights and doesnt actually submit your certification even tho it looks like it did. Did you save your confirmation number? If not, you might wanna log in today to double check it went through

Lol they make it seem like Sunday is the only day to certify but you can actually do it any day of the week - just pushes your payment date back by a day each day you wait after Sunday.

Unpopular opinion maybe, but I actually prefer certifying Sunday night cuz the website is way less glitchy than Sunday morning when EVERYONE is trying to log in at once. Never had an issue with payment timing.
