Where is the New York Unemployment office in Watertown?

The Career Center is at 1000 Coffeen Street in Watertown. But heads up - they dont really handle unemployment stuff in person anymore since covid. Everything is online or over the phone now 🤷‍♀️

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone using claimyr.com. It costs $20 but they dial through the menu and wait on hold, then call you when they get someone. Here's a video explaining how it works: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

you could try the syracuse office its bigger but same deal - everything is online now smh

The whole system is broken af. Been trying to reach them for 3 weeks straight. Good luck 🤮

just keep calling the 888 number. sometimes early morning works better. or use claimyr if ur desperate

Listen up - here's the deal with NY unemployment offices in 2024: - Physical offices don't handle UI claims anymore - Everything is through the website or phone - Career Centers can help with job search but not claims - Best ways to get help: 1. Call early morning (7:30am) 2. Use claimyr.com if you're stuck 3. Message them on social media 4. Email your state representative The system changed after covid and never went back. Save yourself the trip to Watertown - nobody there can help with claims anymore.

Just went through this same nightmare last month. The Watertown Career Center at 1000 Coffeen St is still open but they literally cannot touch unemployment claims anymore - it's all done through Albany now. What worked for me was calling the main number (888-209-8124) at exactly 8:00am on a Tuesday. Took about 45 minutes on hold but I finally got through. Also heard good things about that claimyr service people mentioned. Don't waste gas driving around to offices - they'll just tell you the same thing. The whole system is frustrating but you gotta work within it now 😤

Been in the same boat as you @Maggie Martinez - it's incredibly frustrating when you're already stressed about unemployment and can't even get basic help. I actually had success using a combination of what everyone mentioned here. Called the 888 number at 7:45am on a Wednesday (seems like weekday mornings are key), and when that didn't work after a few tries, I bit the bullet and used claimyr. Yes it costs money but honestly when you're desperate and need answers, $20 is worth not losing your sanity. The physical office thing is dead - learned that the hard way after driving to three different locations 🤦‍♀️ Also pro tip: if you have any local state assembly member contacts, sometimes their offices can help expedite things. Don't give up!
