Attention New Yorkers! Our unemployment insurance system is getting an important upgrade!
Here’s what you need to know about the upgrade period starting MONDAY, 11/02/2026 at 5 PM:
🛠️ All online and phone services temporarily unavailable.
📅 During the upgrade, payments will be delayed. You will get all payments due to you once you file or certify in the upgraded system.
💼 Career Centers will be available virtually by appointment for job search assistance.
This updated system will help us serve you better. Learn more about what this means for you and how to prepare: https://brnw.ch/21x618k
