Dear New Yorker:

We understand there may be confusion following the President's announcement on Saturday about additional unemployment benefits. While open questions about this announcement are resolved, please continue to certify weekly to ensure you receive your Unemployment Insurance (UI) or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) benefits. We will process any additional benefits if/when they come due if you continue to certify.

To allow your fellow New Yorkers to reach a representative for regular UI or PUA matters, please do NOT call the DOL to inquire about the federal administration's announcement at this time.​‎
