New York Unemployment: How often are mandatory DOL appointments?

Been on UI since August and had 2 appointments so far. They just verify your job search and make sure your actively looking. Nothing to stress about just keep good records of where you applied.

Hey guys I was struggling with getting through to unemployment but I found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then connects you when theres an agent. Costs $20 but beats calling 100 times. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Its totally random tbh. I went 6 months with nothing then got 2 appointments in 3 months 🤷‍♂️

The whole appointment system is such bs. They expect you to drop everything and come in whenever they say so or risk losing benefits. Some of us are actually trying to find work 🙄

Listen up cause this is important: They usually schedule these appointments every 3-4 months but it varies. Keep ALL your job search records - minimum 3 job contacts per week. Document everything with dates, company names, position, how you applied, and any responses. They can ask for up to a year of records. Virtual appointments are available now too. If you miss an appointment, call them ASAP using claimyr.com cause getting through is impossible otherwise. Missing appointments without good reason can mess up your benefits fr fr.

got my first one after 4 months. wasnt bad at all just boring af 😴
