How to fax it
- Pick the number for your document above. If a letter or form from the agency gives a fax number, use that one: it goes straight to the team handling your claim.
- Put your Social Security number on each page, as the DOL asks, and add proof like pay stubs if you’re asking for a wage reconsideration.
- Send it from dimefax.com/send. If the line is busy, Dimefax tries again a few minutes later, and you’re only charged if it goes through.
- Keep the delivered confirmation. Dimefax shows the date and time it went through.
Tips
- Secure messaging in your NY.gov unemployment account is often faster than fax.
- Mail for reconsideration: New York State Department of Labor, P.O. Box 15130, Albany, NY 12212-5130.
Dimefax costs 10¢ a page and you’re only charged if the fax goes through. On the web, page credits come in packs of 50 for $4.99, 100 for $9.99 or 200 for $19.99; the Dimefax iPhone app also sells 10 for $0.99. Credits you don’t use stay in your account and last as long as you fax once a year.
