Seeking Guidance on NYDOL Judgment Warning After Unreported Gig Earnings

I recently received a judgment warning from the New York Department of Labor after picking up a gig. I've been on unemployment insurance since October 2025, and my benefits are about to expire. When I called a month ago, I was advised to keep certifying every week, so I continued doing so out of habit. I’m a performer and just got married, which led me to move back home without any jobs lined up. Shortly after moving, I booked a six-week job and have already received three paychecks from it. However, I failed to notify the DOL about my change in work status and was certifying for weeks when I should have reported my earnings. I’m unsure how to handle this situation and am looking for updated advice on judgment warnings from NYDOL, as most information I found online is outdated. I genuinely made a mistake and want to avoid any penalties.
