@NYSLabor I applied for benefits February 8, 2021 and my payments are still pending. I've called the hotline too many times to remember. The response is high call volumes..This is over 4 months now that I've been waiting.
For people who are otherwise healthy or have only moderate symptoms, please: STAY HOME.
Don’t go to an ER unless you are seriously ill. If you feel sick with cold or flu symptoms, wait 3-4 days and if your symptoms don’t improve, call your doctor.
