That's very normal. The FPUC payments are often processed separately from regular UI payments, even though they cover the same weeks. If you received your regular UI payment, that's a good sign that the system recognizes you as eligible. The $300 supplements should follow shortly.

nice! glad it worked out for u

The IRS has systems in place to prevent double refunds. If you filed an amended return AND they process the automatic adjustment, their system should flag it. Most likely, they'll either: 1. Process your amended return and ignore the automatic adjustment 2. Process the automatic adjustment and reject the amended return If by some chance you do receive two refunds for the same adjustment, you should contact the IRS, as they will eventually catch it and you could face penalties for not returning the duplicate payment.

Here's the simple version: - If you received unemployment in 2024 and already filed your taxes, you paid tax on that money - The government decided after tax season started that the first $12,800 of unemployment shouldn't be taxed - Instead of making everyone file new tax forms, the IRS is automatically figuring out who paid too much tax - They're sending extra refunds to those people - You don't need to do anything but wait for the money to arrive - The amount depends on your tax rate, but roughly 10-24% of the unemployment amount that was exempted So if you received unemployment last year, you'll likely get some money back without doing anything.

Thank you so much!! That makes it so clear. I was worried I'd have to file something complicated or call someone. I'll just keep an eye on my bank account then!

This is incorrect information. PTO payouts don't affect your work history qualification in New York - they might delay the start of benefits slightly, but they wouldn't cause someone to be denied for insufficient work history. Let's be careful not to confuse the situation further.

That's excellent news! Make sure you submit your appeal and all documentation before the deadline. The fact that you spoke with an agent who acknowledged the extended base period should help your case significantly. Best of luck, and please do let us know how it turns out.

So glad you got through to someone! Fingers crossed your appeal gets approved quickly!

Thanks for the warning! I'll make sure they don't file a new claim. They were actually considering that so you might have just saved them from making things worse.

Glad they got it sorted! How did they finally get through? Was on hold forever or did they use that service?

They used that Claimyr service someone recommended above. Said it was way easier than trying to get through on their own after multiple failed attempts.
