lmao welcome to NY unemployment, where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡 But for real, you need to apply for PEUC extension. The system should have done this automatically but it's broken af. You gotta call and talk to someone.
where nothing makes sense and the rules are made" up is LITERALLY the perfect description of NYSDOL🤣
This is sucha common issue with ny unemployment right now! I went through it last month. Your regular UI benefits expired (usually after 26 weeks), and you need to switch to the extension program. The $300 federal supplement continues until Sept 4, but only if youre getting some form of base unemployment.
yo if youre still having this problem after a few days DM me, i know someone who can help get your claim pushed through faster
Side note but seasonal work can sometimes mess with how the system calculates your base period. If your daughter has other jobs besides just the summer camp work, make sure the system is counting ALL her employment history when determining benefit amount.
Very good point!! They only look at specific quarters for calculating benefits
My two cents as someone who's been through the seasonal work unemployment cycle like 5 times now: the key is consistency in your answers. Pick 'lack of work' and stick with it. The system flags inconsistencies more than anything else. Also, expect at least one payment to be delayed while they review - it's annoying but normal.
I filed in October and I'm still waiting for them to adjust mine 🙃 I've given up and started delivering for DoorDash just to make ends meet. Good luck man, hope yours gets fixed faster than mine.
That's so discouraging to hear. Have you tried calling them at all? Or are you just waiting for it to resolve on its own?
I've called like 20 times with no luck. I'm going to try that claimyr service someone mentioned here cuz I'm at my wits end for real
u know whats crazy? i was also getting $182 and then one day it just randomly jumped to $405 with no notification. check ur payment history every morning - sometimes they update it without telling u!

I just went thru this hell. They ask all the same questions from the original application. Make sure she knows: - exact dates of her last employment - employer address and phone - reason for unemployment - what job search activities she's done And the MOST IMPORTANT thing: don't give up if the line disconnects! It took me 27 calls over 3 days to finally get through. The system is a nightmare right now.

The NY unemployment system is such a joke. I spent a total of 19 hours over 3 days trying to speak to someone for my benefit extension. Eventually I caved and used a service called Claimyr that basically waits on hold for you. Got through in about 2 hours and fixed my issue. The system is deliberately broken to discourage people from collecting what they're entitled to. Keep pushing and don't give up.

•I've seen a few people mention Claimyr now. I'll definitely look into it if she has trouble getting through. Thanks for the suggestion!
