What to do for jobless benefits in New York
01 May 2020, 16:25 BDT
New York State Labor Commissioner Roberta Raydon says more than 1.7 million people in the state have applied for unemployment benefits in the past six weeks. Three billion dollars in unemployment benefits are being paid in the meantime. Many are fully or partially unemployed, many of them waiting for allowances.
Roberta Reardon said Thursday that efforts are being made to address pending list applications. He advised the applicants to keep the employer's federal identity number in their hands before applying for unemployment benefits. This number is available on Personal Tax Return, W-2 Form or 1099 Form. The commissioner said that in most cases, the application process for the 'EIN' number is being expedited. He said any business in New York is legally obliged to give their employees this EIN number. He said it was convenient for the bank to get the unemployment benefit through direct deposit. Personal information can be updated by logging on to the State Department of Labor's website and going to the 'Unemployment' service
Commissioner Raydon has requested that no one apply more than once. He said they have information that the same person has applied 20 times. Such an application complicates the process. Many are applying again without getting any reply. The commissioner said that no matter how long it takes to process an application, anyone in New York who has been fully or partially unemployed will be paid the allowance. When it is paid, it will be paid along with the arrears.
You have been asked to apply in the same way as the name is on the Social Security card. Many are applying with wrong names. Apart from this, calls are now being made from the state's employment department. Many people are not holding the phone after seeing the 'private number'. Commissioner Bairdon requested that calls from private numbers be intercepted. If not, the man of the department is going to the next applicant. He said it was too late to address many such applications.
Before the outbreak of the epidemic, 400 people used to call this department of the state every day to address the application for unemployment benefits. He said about 3,100 people are now working in the department. The commissioner said to wait by applying online. He said that if there is any mistake in the application, he will be called.
Most of the people in the state who have been in lockdown for more than a month are still unemployed. The US Congress has passed a special law to provide unemployment benefits. Allocated money. So far, everything in the state is being considered for opening step by step. However, many workers are worried that he will lose the opportunity to return to his old job. Many people think that new jobs will be created. All in all, New York workers are spending their days in a state of hope and apprehension.
