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

Having trouble setting up direct deposit for my unemployment benefits. The online system won't let me access my account settings and phone calls aren't going through. Been certifying by phone but really don't want to default to the KeyBank card. Anyone know how to fix this or have other options?

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 💯
