Good afternoon!

We received an important message from the NYS DOL regarding call backs from Unemployment Agents to complete claims.

“The ONLY TWO pieces of information that our agents will confirm to a claimant is the date they filed their claim and the method they filed their claim (phone or web).

They will NOT ask the claimant for their mother’s maiden name or their SS# or any other personal information. If they receive a call asking for this information it is a SCAM.”

Please share this information with your members.

Thank you!
