It says, " UI & PUA payments were not impacted." But apparently UI was impacted ... the $600 was not deposited yet.

Hopefully this week we get it because they said it's getting processed tonight the extra 600. But all in all tomorrow and next Tuesday would be the last of the extra 600

Can anyone help with a question on unemployment? I opened a new book today and got a confirmation number. It also said to go online between tomorrow, Tuesday, but no later then this Saturday. But what is this for it didn't say. It is not to claim my weekly benefits which I always claimed on Sunday. Any help would be appreciated.
Also is the waiting week still waived? Thanks again.

I've heard that some congressmen are trying to get it extended and they're haggling over how much it should be.

$600 is a windfall to people in states like Arizona, Alabama and Florida with maximum benefits that are not even close to $300. Maybe they should make it something like 100% of the state's benefit not to exceed $600.

Massachusetts is the highest ... $823 (Individual) up to $1,234 (w/dependents).

Guess it's just to certify but I believe the waiting week is still waived. Do it tomorrow and let us know what's up.

There is no waiting week. You need to do it ASAP during this week so that you collect for this week.

I will do it tomorrow and let everyone know what it is for.

See the thing that sucks is we want to work, but we are a second to third party and can't go back to work so we should have those extended benefits of 600 dollars till we go back considering our hands were forced to not make us work. So any extra would be greatly appreciated but won't hold my breath

Today

Update on opening my new book this past Sunday. After receiving my confirmation number it also told me to, I believe, to certify for benefits , starting Tuesday but no later than Saturday. I just filed on Sunday why would it tell me to certify only 2-5 days after I opened my new book? I called the tele-service line got someone who had no idea, put me on hold, then a different person came on. I explained to her my confusion on what to do next. She then said let me check your claim. She came back on the line and said everything looks fine and continue to certify starting Sunday. She had no idea what message I got after I first opened the new book. Let's see what happens Sunday.

There is a 13 week extension attached to the cares act and then a 20 week extension the NY State just past last week. From what I have read a claim is now 59 weeks long.

It is my understanding that you bo not need to. If you go to the main page of unemployment I believe it is all there.
