Partial unemployment in New York state? - New Yorker

Posted: Sep 06, 2012

Has anyone ever applied for and received partial unemployment in New York state? I looked at their unemployment benefits website and it looks like if you work at all in a day you are considered to have worked that day and you can only get partial unemployment if you work less than 4 days a week? I have been struggling with very low work or no work for weeks now. I was hoping that I could apply for partial unemployment, but I'm not sure how I would qualify. TIA!

I have not gotten it in NY State, but have gotten it in Iowa. My advice is to just apply and let them make their decision. If they don't explain how it all works for partial unemployment, then ASK, ASK, and ASK again until you are confident you understand their policy. That's what they are there for. Good luck!

I'm not in NY, but my husband gets unemployment and works. - me

My husband receives unemployment. He has not been able to find FT employment but has been working with temporary agencies when there is work. Every week he has to do a report on-line that shows any income he may have received that week. My husband is allowed to earn $91 and still get full benefits. If he earns more than $91 then his benefits are reduced by the amount over $91. Some weeks he has gotten no unemployment because he's been fortunate enough to make more than what he would get in unemployment. They have allotted him a certain $ amount of funds and he has been able to stretch that out since he has worked some. I think the $91 is unique to him and that it may vary bsaed on income prior to unemployment.

There are diffferent tiers of unemployment. The first tier is a federal tier and it would be the same acrosss the board, no matter where you lived, I would think. I think that their if 26 weeks, and then it goes to state funds.

Has anyone applied for partial unemployment and if so, were you able to get it? All I ever get is NJA and I'll be damned if I am going to use all my PTO or sit by this computer 24/7. I do not get up and do things as I should - I sit by this computer and constantly log into DQS. I must be nuts but MQ made me this way. Thanks for any info!! ...

By year's end, I will have made about half of what I normally make working the same number of FT hours. I've read suggestions on here to apply for partial UI, which could probably save my behind - I'm not sure how much longer I can pay the rent and not sure where me and kids would go. However, is it really possible to qualify for that considering the nature of our work, paid by production? Could'nt it be argued (wrongly so!!) that we just slacked off and did ...

I briefly looked over the website for unemployment in my state (Texas) and find it very confusing. Did you go to an office to do this? Also what info do I need to have available for filing? Believe me, I've been job hunting for 2+ years. I've had a couple of interviews but so far no hire. I'm almost to the point I would work in housekeeping just to get a steady job!!!!!! Thanks for any help you can give. ...

Any advice? I was shy over 8 hours last week due to OOW (towards end of pay period, so no way to catch it up) and over 10 hours this week now (my last scheduled day was yesterday, and I'll be checking in to see if I can catch up some today on my day off, which won't be 10 hours, of course). Is there generally a certain number of hours, rate of pay, etc., that one has to be shy of actual scheduled in order to qualify? I understand it may be different from state to st ...

I've heard this before, but was unable to find anything about it ... I live in Georgia. I went through all my PTO over the holidays because of NJA, and now it's the beginning of the week and I'm already 4 hours down. What good does it do to "work" on holidays, when there's never any work? I guess they just can't stand paying that holiday pay ... I'm so depressed right now and my first check of 2014 that I will get on Friday is going to be horrible. ...

I hope everyone at this company with not enough work is aware that you can file for partial unemployment. I knew nothing about this until last year at another job. You can file to receive partial benefits if you don't work all your hours due to lack of work. ...

I'm thinking about applying for partial unemployment. The only thing holding me back is i'm afraid I will get retalation from the company or even get fired. I'm afraid that I will be out of a job completely without having anything else lined up. I've had maybe 2-3 hours a day of work if i'm lucky for going on a week now, and i'm really worried about paying my bills. I have been applying for other jobs in the meantime as well. I would love to hear anyone's exper ...

CA just changed computer systems and 1000s of workers haven't been paid. It's a mess and getting media attention now. My paper claim was lost and payment is being delayed. If you think MTs are grumpy on forums, you should see the UE forum crowd. lol Anyway, I'm not panicking yet, but hopefully it gets cleared and I'm paid by next month. ...

I have been a MT (IC) for over 3 years with a company that has been bought out multiple times in the last 2 years. Recently I was diagnosed with venous insufficiency in both legs and 2 DVTs, due to sitting prolonged hours due to working this job mainly. I have not been working for the past 3 weeks and want to know what my options are for any compensation before I quit as I cannot work the prolonged hours any longer per my many specialists advice. It is not safe to continue to do so. I also have ...

Hello, I am a medical transcriptionist and, lately, a medical editor who lives in New York City. I would like to meet fellow MTs/editors in my area for professional and social purposes. I am having a bit of trouble finding data on the Internet that points out MT groups (or even just individuals) in the NYC metro area. I was wondering if anyone had any information about such groups in NYC. Please let me know. Or, if you are an individual MT/editor who just wants to reach out and say "hell ...

I just got off the phone with our local UE office, and the rep informed me that there's no such thing as partial UE in my state (Louisiana). She advised me to ask you all how you answered certain questions when filing your claims, such as "what was your last work date" and "when were you separated from your employer," etc. In other words, did you have to file a regular UE claim, or does your state provide a separate application process for partial UE? I'd hate to file a claim ju ...

Am I correct here that we can no longer collect partial UE because our NJA option for release from work with no pay has been taken away, leaving us ONLY the option to work or take PTO? How clever of them. ...
