Last week, we contacted 90,000 New Yorkers with processed and payable claims who had not submitted weekly certifications to release their payments.
This weekend, we will do the same, updating thousands of New Yorkers on their application statuses.
Over the past two months we’ve distributed $6.8 billion in unemployment benefits to New Yorkers.
This amount is more than 3x what we paid in unemployment benefits during 2019.
We will continue to work tirelessly to process every single claim and pay New Yorkers their benefits.
Justice delayed is justice denied..
So are we being denied oor right to survive this pandemic?? This is INHUMANE.. unconscionable!!! We are in a CRISIS!! A GLOBAL PANDEMIC!! Emergency times call for EMERGENCY MEASURES!!@jessicaramos @RachelMayNY@jessicaramos@melissadderosa
ICYMI: We are launching a new, streamlined process for New Yorkers to submit backdated certifications and get their back pay faster and easier.
This system will help the 470,000+ New Yorkers who have not certified for at least one week receive their benefits more quickly.
