How long for New York Unemployment debit card to arrive after approval?

Just got approved for unemployment benefits but still waiting on my debit card to arrive in the mail. Anyone know how long this usually takes? Already claimed for 2 weeks but no money yet and getting worried about bills.

Usually takes about 7-10 business days after your first payment is released. Make sure your address is correct in the system tho, that can mess things up.

Call the KeyBank number to check if its been mailed. Sometimes they mess up and you need a new one sent

I had trouble getting through to check on my card status but found a solution. Used claimyr.com to get through to an agent. Costs $20 but worth it cause they handle the hold time. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

You can also set up direct deposit online while waiting for the card. way faster tbh

Pro tip: Once u get the card, transfer the $ out right away. Those KeyBank cards have crazy fees if u use them at non-KeyBank atms 💯
