Wait is adjudication the same thing as an appeal? I'm so confused by all these terms and my claim has been sitting there for 3 weeks now with no updates
AI taking jobs is the new normal unfortunately. At least you can collect while you figure things out. I've been on unemployment twice in the past three years because of automation and downsizing. The system isn't really designed for this kind of mass displacement but what can you do.
you can also get it if your job eliminates your position entirely even if they offer you something else thats way different or pays way less. happened to my friend when her company restructured and they wanted to move her from marketing manager to receptionist at half the pay
Don't forget about situations like workplace discrimination or retaliation. If you quit because of illegal treatment by your employer, that's considered good cause. But you need solid documentation and it's harder to prove than a straightforward layoff.
the whole system is ridiculous tbh. I got denied the first time because apparently I didn't search for enough jobs even though I was searching every day. Had to appeal and wait another month. Make sure you keep detailed records of every job you apply to because they WILL ask for proof.

The whole NYS Department of Labor system is a JOKE! They process everything slowly on purpose to save money. My claim has been 'under review' for three weeks now with ZERO communication. Meanwhile bills keep coming and they act like we don't matter!!

•I feel your frustration but usually there's a specific reason for delays even if they don't communicate it well.

UPDATE: Just checked my account and the payment finally went through! Took 7 days total but got the full amount. Hopefully yours processes soon too.
