New York Unemployment Virtual Meeting Tips Needed for Friday

Got my first virtual meeting with unemployment on Friday and really nervous about it. Never done this before and want to make sure I dont mess anything up. What should I prepare? What should I expect?

Make sure you have ALL your documents ready - wage statements, employee ID, social security card, drivers license or state ID, and any correspondence from your previous employer. Also have your work search records handy they ALWAYS ask for those 👀

omg thank you! what counts as work search records? do indeed applications count?

Yep Indeed counts! Screenshot everything tho and save the confirmation emails. They want to see at least 3 job searches per week minimum.

If ur having trouble getting thru to schedule try claimyr.com - they got me connected to someone in like 30 mins. Cost $20 but worth every penny instead of calling for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Here's everything you need to know (I've done 3 of these meetings): - Log in 10 mins early - Have a notepad ready to take notes - Keep your claim ID number handy - Dress professionally (yes, they notice) - Make sure your background is clean and professional - Have your last day of work and exact reason for separation ready - List of all employers from the last 18 months - Proof of income (W2s, pay stubs) - Work search records organized by week If you're having trouble getting through on the phone for any follow-up, use claimyr.com - they're a lifesaver. Good luck! 🍀
