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."
From the agency's own page, read October 14, 2026. File a claim on the agency's site.
Before you go
Hours change, and some centers see people by appointment. Call the center before you go. More about unemployment in New York: how to file, the weekly claim and how much it pays, and every phone number.
Where this comes from
The centers, their addresses, phones and hours are from the U.S. Department of Labor's American Job Center finder (CareerOneStop), as each center last updated it. Jobareer is not part of any state agency and cannot see or change your claim.
