New York Unemployment: Will updating address affect my first claim approval?

Your good dont worry about it. I changed my address right after filing and it didnt affect anything. Just make sure you do it ASAP so your debit card goes to the right place 👍

Hey guys! If anyone needs to actually speak with someone at unemployment, I found this website claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold for you then connects you when they get someone. Costs $20 but totally worth it instead of calling for days. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Make sure you keep documentation of when you submitted the address change just incase. Screenshot everything!

Dealing with this exact situation rn. The system is such a headache 🤮 Been trying to get someone on the phone for 3 days straight

Here's what you need to know about address changes during claims: - Address updates don't affect claim approval - Changes usually process within 24-48 hours - You can still certify while address is updating - Make sure to update BOTH UI Online account AND payment method address - If you're getting paper checks, there might be a slight delay - For fastest results, use direct deposit instead of debit card I work as a career counselor and see this all the time. Just keep certifying weekly and you'll be fine. If you need to speak with someone, use claimyr.com - way better than waiting on hold forever.

lmaooo ny unemployment system is a joke fr fr 🤡
