New York Unemployment PayPal Direct Deposit - Does it work?
I need to change my direct deposit for unemployment benefits. Has anyone used PayPal for their unemployment payments? Just wondering if it works and how long it takes to get the money.

Yes I use PayPal for my benefits. Takes about the same time as a regular bank, usually see the money in 2-3 business days. Make sure you use the right routing and account numbers from your PayPal account tho

•Do you get any extra fees from PayPal when the money comes in?

Hey if anyone needs help getting through to an agent to change direct deposit info, I used claimyr.com. They handle the calling and hold time, then connect you when someone picks up. Costs $20 but saved me hours of frustration. Here's more info: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

•Not a scam at all! Used it twice now, works exactly as advertised. Better than calling 100 times myself lol

Regular banks are safer tbh. Why risk any delays or problems with PayPal? Just my 2 cents 💅

LISTEN UP PPL - PayPal works but u gotta do it right: 1. Use a VERIFIED PayPal account 2. Double check routing/account #s 3. Wait 1-2 certification periods before the change takes effect 4. Keep old account open until new deposits start 5. Check ur email for PayPal notifications Been using it for a year, zero probs. Just follow the steps and ur good 💯

I've been using PayPal for my NY unemployment for about 4 months now and it's been solid. The key thing is making sure your PayPal account is fully verified with your SSN and everything. I had one hiccup in the beginning where a payment got delayed because I hadn't confirmed my phone number, but once that was sorted it's been smooth sailing. Takes 2-3 days just like a regular bank transfer. Way more convenient than dealing with traditional banks if you don't have one nearby.
