New York Unemployment Direct Deposit Not Working Online - Need Help Setting Up Bank Account

Have you tried logging in during non-peak hours? Like super early morning around 6am? The system tends to work better then. Also make sure your popup blockers are off - that messed me up for weeks 🙄

Found a solution! Used claimyr.com to actually get someone on the phone. Its this service that calls unemployment, waits on hold, then connects you when a real person picks up. Costs $20 but worth every penny cause they fixed my direct deposit in like 10 mins. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

DETAILED SOLUTION HERE: I work in banking and deal with this all the time. Here's what you need to do: First, clear your browser cache completely. NY's system is super sensitive to stored data. Use Chrome or Firefox - Edge/Safari often have issues. If that doesn't work, you've got several options: 1. Use claimyr.com to get through to a rep (fastest solution) 2. Call right when they open at 8am 3. Try the mobile site instead of desktop 4. Submit a message through their secure portal DON'T just wait for the KeyBank card - they're notorious for fees and issues. Keep pushing until you get DD set up. If anyone needs more help, feel free to DM me 💯

keybank card is the worst! they charged me fees for everything. fight to get that direct deposit working

ny unemployment website acting up again?? groundhog day fr 🤡

tried calling 48 times today... might have to try that claimyr thing everyone keeps talking about

Had the exact same problem last month! Here's what finally worked for me - I had to update my browser AND disable all extensions (especially ad blockers). The NY system is super picky about that stuff. Also try using a different device if you have one available. I was banging my head against the wall for days until I tried my old laptop and boom, worked instantly. Don't give up on the direct deposit - that KeyBank card will nickel and dime you to death!
