The Employment Source: Wellsville NY – The Choice For Staffing, Outplacement, Job Search & Resumes.

New York unemployment benefits provide temporary compensation to those workers meeting the eligibility requirements of New York law. The New York State Department of Labor and each other state’s unemployment office administers its own unemployment insurance program within Federal guidelines.
The value of unemployment benefits in New York differs from that of other states because each state unemployment office applies its own formulas and limits when calculating the level of unemployment compensation.
The duration of unemployment benefits in New York may also differ from that of other states.

Eligibility for New York Unemployment Benefits
The basic requirements for collecting unemployment are:

* You must have been employed. The New York State Department of Labor publishes requirements for wages earned or time worked during an established period of time referred to as a “base period.”
* You must be determined to be unemployed through no fault of your own as defined under New York law.
* You must file ongoing claims and respond to questions concerning your continued eligibility. You must report any earnings from work and any job offers or refusal of work during any claim period.
* Meet any other unemployment eligibility requirements of New York law.
