[NEW YORK] - Waiting Week how to get credit for it ?

[rcastle]

So I had my claim filled out and had received letters regarding confirming for the waiting week as well as estimates to my benefits however even after verifying my id and also calling to get credit for my waiting week I still haven’t gotten my benefits yet , and I’ve tried both phone numbers listed and haven’t gotten anywhere ? What should I do ?

@rcastle You need to add more details. Like when you filed for benefits? Are you able to claim weekly benefits currently?

From the details that you mentioned vaguely, you missed out on claiming the waiting week and need to speak to a rep about it. The waiting week needs to be done during a specific timeframe, typically the week following you file for benefits. The number to call weekly is 888-581-5812.

However, if you missed the window, or need to speak to a rep, its the main line at 888-209-8124
