The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) issues unemployment insurance forms to help workers and businesses understand their rights and responsibilities under New York labor law. Use this guide to respond to UI claims accurately and avoid penalties.
This document is part of the NYSDOL's Unemployment Insurance Benefits guide. It covers the rules for UI eligibility, the process for responding to claims, and employer rights when a former employee requests benefits. Workers and businesses can request information through the NYSDOL website or contact the agency directly for resources and guidance.
Workers qualify for unemployment insurance benefits if they meet the following conditions:
Benefits are denied for voluntary quits, misconduct discharges, or refusal of suitable work. Receiving a pension or Workers' Compensation may reduce the unemployment insurance benefit amount. Workers who disagree with a determination have the right to request a hearing before an administrative law judge.
Businesses have specific responsibilities when responding to UI claims. A response must be submitted within 10 days of the initial claim notice. Late responses may result in charges that increase the company's UI tax rate in future years. The Shared Work program lets businesses reduce employee hours by 20 to 60 percent while workers receive partial unemployment insurance benefits, avoiding full layoffs and retaining skilled staff.
Businesses that file quarterly wage reports may also need the NYS-45 Form and the NYS-45-ATT Form. Employers tracking employment records can download the Department of Labor Certificate and the Employer Status Report.
