Had to sign in twice and am still owed 6 checks I have contacted ID.me and NYS unemployment and have heard nothing about my problem. Have been filing unemployment since 2006 and have never had a problem until ID.me got involved. Please don't send me an email saying I am satisfied with your service I am not.
