The system really needs to be dismantled,the computer won’t let me file cause they have my #ss number on file from pandemic,The phone service gives u the complete run around…8 weeks of shaniggans…So piss,smh!
The phone line is always busy,it’s a project to get through,when u do get through they keep sending u to an automation answered phone number that does not help u at all…I can’t believe there is no supervisors ever available or the fact New York State tax payers are paying for this division of service,clearly everyone feels they are clearly stealing from the state cause they don’t do the required work…At all!!! I’ve been out of work since June 27 cause I caught Covid-19’s in the hospital and I can’t get no help,Unbelievable…So sad for New York tax payers!!!
How do I get the number I effective days to 0? I stopped certifying more than a year ago but the number of effective days is still over 80. And I’ve returned to work a long time ago. Do I need to go the the office to resolve this issue? I’ve called numerous times over the phone and there has been no hekp at all.
Riki,
If feasible and safe, please consider visiting an office in the vicinity.
Hi, I’ve been trying to get my 1099 for many months know and haven’t been able to get it on line or by phone.
Hi, Maria – the state of New Jersey should have mailed you a copy of your 1099, and if they have an email address on file for you, you might also check to see if they sent you an electronic copy. If you still don’t see it, New Jersey 1099-G information will also be available from the Check Claim Status tool (https://tinyurl.com/yc6p3dxd) no later than January 31. It will not be available in your unemployment dashboard.
I was residing in California and had to move to NYS to live with family because California’s Unemployment Insurance system froze all CA residents benefits due to a fraudulent claim scandal. My benefits have been frozen and I am stuck on the ID.Me website to verify my identity as a legitimate claimant. Now that I am with family in NY, where do I begin to sort this mess out? I am able to see my CA claims building, however I cannot access my benefits. Please help! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I need to apply for unemployment as soon as possible.
I’ve spent the past 2 days trying to do this online and then tried by phone.
Nothing has worked.
So now i was looking for an office in NYC to come and apply but I cannot find any locations or
any information.
I’m not sure what to do now. I lost my job and need unemployment. Please tell me
how to reach the correct office – by phone, by email or in perosn.
Thank you
if you are denied services what is the best thing to do reapply or a fair hearing? if i reapply will i be able to get credit for my pass week i been unemployed?
If you’re denied and think you need a hearing, please consider filing an “Appeal” where an adjudicator will relook into the matter.
I just had a conversation with the Director of Human Resources in my organization regarding my letter of intention to retire this June, 2019. Due to my entire department getting layed off as of June 30, she recommends that my retirement letter indicate June 30 as my official retirement date, rather than the date I put in the letter. One reason for her recommendation is that because my name will automatically be listed in the group of people being layed off as of June 30 (due to a grant ending as of this date) I am eligible for unemployment benefits. Is this true?
Pat,
I am not sure how your state treats this situation. Please contact the Unemployment Office for clarification.
I am having difficulty in applying for unemployment I cannot gey past the credit check which I have done at least 3-4 times at a cost of which I presently could not afford I need some help in order to move forward w/my application Please advise
Thanking you in advance
Please call the Claims Center immediately on the phone numbers provided for assistance.
My position is being transferred to a location that requires me to take 2 trains climb several stairs and then walk 6 blocks to the new location. I now drive to work at my present location. I submitted a medical accommodation from my physician due to a severe chronic back condition that requires that I don’t walk long distances or climb stairs which the transfer location will require. I have been working at my current position at the present location for 9 years. The company is not moving. They just plan on transferring my position. Technically its under 50 miles but its in NYC where as now I work in Melville, NY. If they deny my medical accommodation, will I be eligible for unemployment?
Yes, you can be eligible under such circumstances.
Please call the Unemployment Office in your state for further details.
