New York State Department of Labor has sent you this form because you may be eligible for unemployment benefits for previous weeks. Please note that in order to receive any back-week unemployment benefits, you must accurately complete and return this form.

This form will display certain weeks that you may be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. In order to receive the weekly unemployment benefits due to you, please select 'I was eligible' or 'I was not eligible' for each week that you were eligible. Please select "I was not eligible" for any weeks that you were not completely unemployed. This may be because you worked or you were not ready, willing, and able to work on one or more days. You may be eligible for partial benefits for these weeks. Within a week of submitting this form, we will send you another form to certify for any weeks that you may be due partial benefits. If a week passes and you do not receive the second form, please call the Telephone Claims Center at 1-888-209-8124.

I'm assuming it's ineligible for all the dates listed because since we gone back to work in September the only time we were able to collect was when we were recently laid off

Correct. I'm a little uneasy as to why they are sending this to us since we are ineligible and asking us to enter our social security number.

Maybe to catch anyone who tried cheating the system lol 🤷🏻‍♂️, I just filled it out and checked ineligible for all the dates they gave.

I clicked ineligible for all the dates they gave. I looked at my UI history as a well as my checking account and basically since we returned to work we only collected when we were furloughed, so for both emails with all of the dates I clicked ineligible and signed both

I did the same but what LMAO was addressing was whether the email was legit. It was even though there was noting about it in our UI account messages.

[OMG]

I never received that email from NYS DOL, smells like a scam to me. Why would they request your SS#, when all you need to do was sign in?

My daughter lives in DC and she got a similar email. Had her contact the unemployment office down there and they told her that they were unaware of any such email and not to even open it if she hadn't already. They further instructed her not to provide any information at all. So maybe you should try contacting unemployment here first before responding.

Guys, old Buzz wouldn't steer you wrong. The emails are legit as I stated before. There is a long security code in the email. If you have any doubts, copy and paste the security code into the docusign link below. Your email will come up.

(And it's not the first time some of us have received such an email from DOL.)

It's verification to them that you're the one signing it.

[OMG]

Yeah, but why not just sign in to unemployment using your regular username and password that you use every time you file for unemployment?

Who knows? Guess they don't have a way for you to sign within their system.
