Meeting with New York Unemployment Advisor - What to Expect?

Just had mine last week. Make sure you have your ID ready (drivers license works), last few paystubs, and the termination letter if you got one. Keep your W2 from last year handy too. The advisor was actually pretty chill.

Hey I was stuck trying to get an appointment forever but I found this site claimyr.com that calls and gets you through to someone. Cost me $20 but worth every penny. Check out this video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

The zoom meetings are way better than the old in-person ones ngl. You can literally be in ur pjs and they dont care 🤣

MAKE SURE YOUR INTERNET IS GOOD!!!! My wifi crashed during mine and it was a whole thing trying to get back in. Had to reschedule everything smh

Write down all your questions beforehand! I forgot half the stuff I wanted to ask when I was actually in there

Detailed breakdown of what to expect: First 5-10 mins: Identity verification Next 15 mins: They review your claim details Last part: They answer your questions and give next steps Bring: - Photo ID - Social Security Card - Last 3 paystubs - Termination docs - List of jobs you've applied to - Any denial letters Tip: If you need to reach them before Tuesday, use claimyr.com - they'll get you through to someone quick. Saved me loads of time. Don't stress too much, they're usually pretty understanding! 👍
