Won my New York Unemployment hearing - How do I get my backpay?

Congrats on winning! From my experience, backpay isn't automatic. You'll probably need to call them to release the payments. It took me like 2 weeks of trying to get through on the phone before I saw any money 😫

Hey there! I was in the exact same situation last month. I used this site called claimyr.com that calls unemployment for you and stays on hold. When an agent picks up, they connect you. Costs $20 but totally worth it cause I got my backpay released that day. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what you need to know about backpay after winning an appeal: - Benefits won't release automatically - You'll need to speak with an agent to process the backpay - Have your hearing case number ready - They might need to verify your weekly certifications - Could take 2-3 business days after release to hit your account - Use claimyr.com to get through on the phones faster Don't wait too long to call - the sooner you get an agent the better!

make sure u keep certifying every week while u wait! dont miss any weeks or theyll use that as an excuse not to pay u

The system is such a joke fr fr. They make u jump through 1000 hoops just to get what ur owed 🤡

took me 3 months to get my backpay after winning my hearing. had to call every single day until i finally got through. good luck fam 🙏
