u/thelittlecomet yup that means you qualified and they will start paying your claim in a matter of days

I filed a claim on monday with through the link in the red box. Unemployment Insurance Assistance | Department of Labor

I receive this message: Submission Confirmed Thank you for submitting your unemployment insurance claim with the New York State Department of Labor.

If I try to fill it out again.

To clarify, as long as we have done this - we did it correct, right? And we should not be using the old website? I haven’t received a call from a rep, I understand they’re backed up but I just want to make sure. Thank you!

My friend is trying to call in to complete application but they keep disconnecting her and not even placing her on hold. Any thoughts on how to reach a claims specialist?

I missed my call back. will I get another opportunity?

missed callback on sunday and havent received another one ever since, whats going on

self employed reseller NYC who’s job has closed due to virus. Filed for unemployment on 3/28, then got an email that said “We have received the claim you recently filed on our website. Your claim is complete; there is no need to speak to an agent at this time.” I have been claiming benefits but have not received any, application status says pending. Yesterday got an email for the unemployment office saying I needed to fill out the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance which I did and submitted and said I was eligible, but as of today status still says pending and no payments have been made. Any thoughts on when I will receive my benefits and why it could be held up?

I’ve filed since March 16 and filled out all the forms and tried calling but it says I need a rep to call me and it’s been over a week since I filed my unemployment form again and it still said I need to speak to a rep I wake up early call when they open but get hung up on never on hold any advice on my next move cause this is crazy

I missed my call on Sunday and haven’t got a call back yet.

Applied the 28th, got a call back a week ago, and nothing since then, what happens now?

i just submitted my application to retroactively claim for unemployment for 4/1-4/13 when the website was crashing-- i put that my last day of work was 3/31 but looks like i can only certify for the current week. will i get backpay and when would that happen? my employer got the PPP loan and now wants to re-hire me next week.

when do you think we’ll hear anything back for the PUA application?

I filed April 1st, got a call back on Monday this week. How long do I have to wait until I start receiving payments?

I’ve checked there. It just gives me the option to get a NYS 1099-G form.

my status was pending for 2 weeks and I just checked today amount has been changed from $0. does that mean I’m approved? I applied to pua before ui. didnt not know about applying ui before pua. what happens to that?

Hi all, I have been stuck as bending for 3 full weeks now, should I call to check in?

How/where do you check claim status?

I see. Same here. I’ll report back here if I find out anything I’ve been doing one dedicated call per hour and will continue to call until I reach someone.

Is there anyway I could reset my email to log in? I’ve tried calling NYS Department of Labor: 1-800-833-3000 but there’s an automated message saying their lines are too busy

hey so i filed 3/20 finally got a call last Thursday and was told to continue claiming weekly but the section where id claim for this week says "
You may not use this system because you have only partially completed your claim for unemployment insurance benefits. To complete your claim, you must call our Telephone Claims Center at 1-888-209-8124." will i still get for this week or am i screwed who do i contact?
