New York Unemployment mandatory meeting - what should I expect?

Just had mine last week. Its pretty basic - they go over job search requirements, make sure your looking for work, and check that your keeping good records. Nothing to stress about if your doing everything right 👍

BTW if anyone needs help getting through to unemployment, I found this site claimyr.com that calls and waits on hold then transfers you to an agent when they pick up. Costs $20 but worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

These meetings are such bs. They're just trying to intimidate people and find excuses to cut benefits. System is rigged against us 🤮

Make sure you bring ALL your job search records! They will ask for specific details about where you applied, who you contacted, etc. Also dress business casual - first impressions matter!

Had mine 2 weeks ago. Basically a group meeting where they explain resources for finding work and review requirements. Takes like an hour. Show up 15 mins early cause parking can be rough lol
