Information for Customers Calling the Career Center

UI Questions
Concerns about getting through and wanting to visit the center to file a claim
  • The NYS UI system and telephone claim centers across the state have been handling unprecedented numbers of claims/phone calls and as a result, are experiencing some technical difficulties and are running slower. Those filing claims (or attempting too) are experiencing a variety issues, but they need to be patient and keep trying.  New claimants do need to follow the newly enacted protocol and file on their assigned day to help alleviate the overload, but it is no guarantee they won’t experience issues/errors. DOL has extended telephone filing hours and is in the process of hiring additional call center staff, but claimants may still experience difficulties as we work thru this.
  • All in-person services at all Career Centers in New York State have been canceled until further notice. This is being done out of an abundance of caution based on directives from Governor Cuomo to ensure appropriate measures are being taken for the safety and health of our staff and customers.
  • If you are filing a new unemployment insurance claim, the day you should file is based on the first letter of your last name. If your last name starts with A - F, file your claim on Monday. For last names starting with G - N, file your claim Tuesday. For last names starting with O - Z, file your claim on Wednesday.
If you missed your filing day, file your claim on Thursday or Friday.

Filing later in the week will not delay your payments or affect the date of your claim, since all claims are effective on the Monday of the week in which they are filed.

Here is a step by step process to file a claim online: https://www.labor.ny.gov/ui/pdfs/Unemployment-Filing-Instructions.pdf
We are extending telephone filing hours as follows:

Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 7:30 pm.

Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.

Saturday, 7:30 am to 8:00 pm.

NY.Gov Accounts:
If you require assistance re-setting your username and password so you can access your NY.GOV account, you will need to call the Department of Labor Contact Center at (888) 469-7365) between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Press option 2 to speak to a representative at the Department of Labor Contact Center.

For information regarding your unemployment insurance claim, including information regarding benefits or payments, you will need to call the Telephone Claims Center and speak with a representative: 1-888-209-8124.

Extended Benefits (will most likely change)

The federal government enacted the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes extended unemployment benefits. New York has not qualified for these extended benefits at this time, but we will continue to monitor the situation and leverage all federal resources to help New Yorkers survive the economic hardships associated with the novel coronavirus.

If New York State DOES qualify for the extended benefits, New Yorkers do NOT need to do anything new. We will post additional information on the website as it becomes available. Please do NOT call our unemployment hotline with questions about extended benefits -- this helps us keep our phone lines available for your fellow New Yorkers who need to file new claims.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Failure to Report (FTRs)
We have referred the issue of your missed appointment to the UI Division. Please continue to certify for your weekly benefits. Look for important messages from the UI Division and any forms you may need to complete in your Online Services account.

All in-person appointments at all Career Centers in New York State have been canceled until further notice.  This is being done out of an abundance of caution based on directives from Governor Cuomo to ensure appropriate measures are being taken for the safety and health of our staff and customers.
