Can I file for unemployment at these offices?
These are American Job Centers, a network funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and run locally. Whether you can file or fix a claim there depends on the state. Here is what NYS DOL says about filing:
"File online (best between 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.; turn off any VPN or proxy first), or by phone through the Telephone Claim Center at 1-888-209-8124, Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m."
