If I could give 10 stars I would
If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!
Really made a difference
Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.
Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.
Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.
An incredibly helpful service
An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!
Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.
Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.
IT WORKS!! Not a scam!
I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

To all those having trouble reaching a human at Michigan Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/YmVM-26U2rM
I had to my last year and it was a real hassle. You need to call the UIA customer service line (1-866-500-0017) and specifically ask to speak with someone about backdating your claim. Make sure you have documentation ready showing why you weren't able to file on time - like medical records, job termination papers, or proof you didn't know you were eligible. They'll ask for a good cause reason. Be prepared to wait on hold for a long time, but don't give up. Once you get through, they can process the request. It took about 2-3 weeks for mine to be approved. Good luck!

Im so fed up with this. cant pay rent, cant buy food. meanwhile these govt workers get paid to ignore us. its not fair man
I feel you. It's a messed up situation all around. Have you looked into local food banks? They might be able to help with groceries at least.
I'm in the same boat - been waiting about 5 weeks now with zero updates. The whole system feels like it's designed to wear us down until we just give up. I've tried calling dozens of times but can never get through. The automated system just tells me to wait for updates online, which never come. It's especially frustrating because I know people who filed after me and already got their benefits. Has anyone figured out what actually triggers them to review claims? There has to be some rhyme or reason to it, right?

Ugh, I feel your pain. I was stuck in adjudication hell for weeks. Have you tried calling the unemployment office? It's a nightmare to get through, but it's probably your best bet to figure out what's going on.
I second this. It's super frustrating, but keep trying. Sometimes calling at off-peak hours can help.
I went through the exact same thing a few months ago! The "pending adjudication" status drove me crazy because there's zero transparency about what they're actually reviewing. Here's what ended up working for me: I called every single day at exactly 8:00 AM when they opened, and after about a week of busy signals, I finally got through. Turns out they just needed to verify my work history with a previous employer from 2 years ago - something super minor that they could have easily communicated. The whole thing was resolved in 5 minutes once I got someone on the phone. Don't give up on calling, and definitely keep certifying your weekly claims even while it's pending. The backpay will come through once it's resolved. Stay strong! 💪

Hey OP, what specific info are you trying to dispute? I had to correct my employment dates and it was a nightmare, but I finally got it sorted.

•Oof, that's rough. Yeah, I had to send in my last few pay stubs and a letter from my employer. It took forever, but it got fixed eventually. Hang in there!

•Documentation is crucial in these cases. Make sure to have everything organized and ready to present.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! Been calling for over two weeks with no luck getting through. What I've started doing is calling multiple times throughout the day - sometimes I'll get a different message or get further in the queue before it cuts me off. Also, I've been keeping a detailed log of every attempt with timestamps, which someone told me could be helpful if I need to escalate this later. The stress is real though - I totally get the worry about benefits being delayed. Hang in there, we'll figure this out! 💪
