Will my ny unemployment rate stay the same with only a few effective days left?

Yeah when you're down to your last few days they pay you for exactly those days at your regular daily rate. So if your weekly benefit amount is $504 and you have 3 days left, you'll get $252 for those 3 days (half your weekly amount). They don't suddenly change your rate just because you're at the end.

I was stuck in the same situation a few months back and couldn't get a clear answer online. I ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that connected me to an actual unemployment agent within like 20 mins. Saved me from so much stress since I kept getting different answers from friends. Agent confirmed exactly what I needed to know and talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast.

This literally happened to me about 2 months ago. Yes, you'll get your normal daily rate (which is your weekly benefit amount ÷ 4). So for those 6 effective days you'll get 1.5x your usual weekly amount since 6 days = 1.5 weeks.

I believe you can still file for those days and get your benefit rate. Maybe another extension will go through? But tbh the whole ui system is broken af. I'm in the same boat but my BYE is June. Your best bet is to call and get specifics for your situation frm an agent. Good luck!!

Here's exactly how NY unemployment calculates your final payments when you have a partial week left: Your weekly benefit amount gets divided by 4 (since there are 4 effective days in a full UI week). So if your weekly benefit is $400, each effective day is worth $100. For your remaining 6 days, you'll get $600 (6 × $100) split across two payments. First week gets 4 days ($400), then final week gets 2 days ($200). The system won't change your rate just because you're at the end. What you SHOULD do now: 1. Make sure you keep certifying each week until all days are used 2. Start applying for jobs like crazy if you haven't found something yet 3. If you're confused about anything, call NYSDOL directly - but good luck getting through their phone system I had serious issues understanding my benefits and couldn't get any answers online. I used claimyr.com after trying to call for 3 weeks straight with no luck. They got me connected to a live agent who explained everything and fixed an issue that was holding up my last payments.

u need to call them directly and ask. the website is useless for specifics like this. ive spent WEEKS trying to get someone on the line

just a heads up - make sure your address and direct deposit info are all correct in the system before your claim ends. my buddy had issues getting his final payment cuz they tried sending it to an old bank acct

I just went through this last week! Filed for my last 5 days and got paid exactly what i expected (my weekly rate x 5/4). The system is actually smart enuff to handle partial weeks correctly lol. Probably the only thing nysdol gets right tbh

You should look into filing a new claim after your benefit year ends. Depending on your work history during the past year, you might qualify for another round of benefits.

when my ui ran out it was a nightmare tryna figure out what was going on. kept getting mixed info from the unemployment website. finally had to call them like 40 times before getting thru.

Fun fact: NY is one of the only states that uses the "effective days" system instead of weeks. Most other states just pay you for whole weeks. Makes things confusing AF when your claim is ending.
