I sometimes use a VPN for various things that I do on the internet, usually this VPN gives me an IP address outside the country. Today while logging into the system I realized that I forgot to disconnect from my VPN. I didn't certify for benefits as I realized what I had done wrong and disconnected and logged back in before doing so. Does NY track IPs? Will this show up as abnormal to them and raise a red flag? Should I contact them to tell that what happend?
This happens. NY does assume that you were out of the country. Logging out and then back in just makes them think that you did it out of the country and then called someone back home to file your claim for you.
In this thread //www.city-data.com/forum/unemp...enefits-2.html They asked for the passport to show that he wasn't out of the country or a receipt from the establishment showing that he was actually where he said he was.
You can fix this. If you don't have a passport (tough to prove a negative) go buy something today so you can show that you were here on the day this ip address thing happened.
You don't need to contact them. They'll be contacting you. If they don't, that's great, you just saved yourself some work, but if they do, be ready for it.
I logged back in and everything looks like it usually does- the last claim I certified for (not using my VPN) said it would be processed the next business day as it always does.
Is there anyway to know if I've been red flagged or will they contact me by mail/phone?
Well I just logged in again and my payment for this week was released nor did anything come up about my claim being suspended, hopefully this means everything is alright....
Still haven't heard anything but with the holidays and all I still don't feel I am totally out of the woods. If they were to contact me on this matter how would they do so? Phone or mail?
I traveled to CA this year and filed from a CA IP address, and the DOL never said anything about it. Maybe if you're out of the country it's different.
There is something really different with the NY dol and their system. That system tracks all DMV records, hospital records, travel, social services, etc. It was implemented in 2010, and it's a new big-brother type system. NY is the ultimate police State, and it has implemented the ultimate tracking system. I know the new passports are most likely tied into this system as well.
Really? You think there is a way of tying passports ( a federal entity) to UI benefits (a state entity)?
