Need help apply for unemployment benefits

Q) Is there anyone there who can help me apply for unemployment benefits I’ve been out of work since October and I was wondering if I could meet with someone about this matter.

A) You can easily filed a claim for unemployment benefits Online at http://www.labor.ny.gov/signin Once you have filed a claim for benefits, you must also claim weekly benefits for each week you are unemployed and meet the eligibility requirements. You can start certifying as soon as you receive a notification from the DOL. During this process, you are confirming that you were unemployed for all or part of the past week and that you met all other conditions of receiving benefits. During this process, you are confirming that you were unemployed for all or part of the past week and that you met all other conditions of receiving benefits.

The system will ask if you are ready, willing and able to work, and have been actively looking for work, every week you certify for benefits.

Your weekly benefit payment amount (benefit rate) depends on how much and when you were paid before you became unemployed. There is a formula we use to calculate your rate.
