NYDOL Direct Deposit Setup Issues - System Rejecting Bank Details

I found a way to solve direct deposit setup issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdZ5Wsss_mU

Ugh, I feel your pain! I had the same problem last month. Have you tried calling the NYDOL helpline? They might be able to verify your info and update it in the system.

I found a method to get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's what worked for me: 1. Double-check your bank account type (checking vs. savings) 2. Make sure you're entering the routing number first, then the account number 3. Don't include any spaces or special characters 4. If you have a joint account, try entering it under just your name 5. Sometimes the system glitches - try logging out, clearing your browser cache, and trying again If none of that works, you might need to talk to someone at NYDOL directly. Good luck!

have u tried turning it off and on again? 🤣🤣🤣

I swear, the NYDOL system is held together with duct tape and prayers. It's a miracle anything works at all.

Have you considered using a prepaid debit card instead? Some people find it easier than dealing with direct deposit drama.

guys im in the same boat.been trying to set up direct deposit for 3 weeks now. this whole system is a joke smh

PSA: If you're having trouble with direct deposit, make sure your name on the unemployment claim EXACTLY matches your bank account name. Even a middle initial can mess it up.

Anyone else feel like we need a support group for dealing with NYDOL? 😅 Maybe we can all pitch in for a group therapy session lol

I had this exact same issue last month! What finally worked for me was going to my bank branch and asking them to print out a direct deposit form with the correct routing and account numbers. Turns out my online banking was showing a slightly different routing number than what I needed for direct deposits. The teller explained that some banks have different routing numbers for different types of transactions. Once I used the numbers from the official form, it went through immediately. Might be worth a shot!
