New York State Unemployment News 

For those who collected NYS Unemployment in 2020: 

  • 1099-G Update: By the end of January, New Yorkers who received unemployment or pandemic benefits in 2020 will be able to view and print their 1099-G tax forms through NYS DOL’s website: https://dol.ny.gov/. Please note that tax form 1099-G will only be mailed upon request. To request your form by mail, call 888-209-8124 after NY announces the 1099-G tax forms are available. 

On January 18th, Governor Cuomo announced a proposal to boost partial Unemployment Insurance benefits to New Yorkers who return to work part-time. The plan will ensure unemployed New Yorkers who accept part-time work are not penalized by basing their partial unemployment benefits on the hours they actually work, rather than the number of days they work in a given week. Under this new system, unemployed New Yorkers can work up to seven days per week and still receive some unemployment benefits as long as they work fewer than 30 hours and earn no more than $504 in gross pay. The new method of calculating partial benefits is outlined below: 

  • New Yorkers who work between zero and four hours in a week and earn no more than $504 will receive their full unemployment benefit; 
  • New Yorkers who work between four and ten hours in a week and earn no more than $504 will receive 75 percent of their unemployment benefit; 
  • New Yorkers who work between ten and 20 hours in a week and earn no more than $504 will receive half of their unemployment benefit; 
  • New Yorkers who work between 20 and 30 hours in a week and earn no more than $504 will receive 25 percent of their unemployment benefit; 
  • New Yorkers who work over 30 hours in a week, regardless of earnings, will not receive any of their unemployment benefit. 

The changes will go into effect for work done on or after Monday, January 18, 2021, which unemployed New Yorkers certify for starting on Sunday, January 24, 2021. The long term plan for unemployment will be decided based on the NYS legislature vote, which is scheduled to take place on April 1st, 2021.

Dear CCB Staff,

We regret to inform you that we have had two employees test postitive this week. One was last in the building on Friday, the other on Saturday.  These individuals did not feel any symptoms at the time they were at the Club. They went for testing this week due to mild symptoms and subsequently tested positive.

 

The Club has taken action to ensure this area is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized in accordance with ECDOH and The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.

 

This serves as an informational notice to the CCB community and does NOT mean that you have been exposed to or have come in close or proximate contact with the COVID-19 positive individual.

 

While we cannot release information regarding this individual due to Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA), it is important to note that this person is in isolation, and the ECDOH is conducting contact tracing to identify all individuals who may have been in close or proximate contact with the COVID-19 positive individual. The ECDOH is directly communicating with any individual who is identified as a close or proximate contact to the positive COVID-19 individual so that further health and safety measures can be taken. If you are not directly contacted by the ECDOH, the Department has indicated no subsequent action is required by you at this time as it pertains to this positive case.

The Club will continue to work with the ECDOH to ensure the safety of our members, staff, and community.

Please call or email me directly should you have any questions about this notice.

Sincerely.

Nicholas L. Markel 
General Manager
