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!

NYDOL: Stuck on hold for hours, no agent pickup. What to do?

I filed for unemployment a while back and got put on hold for over an hour due to some system error. No agent ever picked up. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do now?

Every time I call 1 (888) 209-8124 and put in my information it tells me due to high call volume please call back later and then hangs up. I’ve called maybe 50 times in the past month and so far it doesn’t even hold the call for me to even wait for an agent. Can someone reply with a different number where I can atleast wait on the line for an agent.

NYDOL approved my claim but no payments received - what to do?

I was told I was approved for unemployment benefits, but I haven't received any payments yet. It's been a while and I'm getting worried. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do next?

Zainab Khalil

NYDOL is a joke rn. They approved me 2 months ago and still no $$$. Anyone know if we can file a complaint somewhere?

You could try contacting the state ombudsman or filing a complaint with the Department of Labor's Inspector General.

Hey everyone, I'm trying to file an unemployment claim and I'm having trouble remembering what SSN and PIN I used. Does anyone know if there's a way to recover this information or if I need to create a new account? I'm worried about messing up my claim by using the wrong info.

NYDOL: Need to call TCC to complete unemployment claim - tips/advice?

Hey everyone, I just finished filing for unemployment online and got a message saying I need to "Call the Telephone Claims Center to Complete Your Claim". Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm not sure what additional info they need or how long this call might take. Any tips on what to expect or how to prepare would be really helpful!

Heads up: they might ask about your job search efforts. Keep a log of places you've applied to, it'll save you headaches later!

Quick question - when you say 'wait week', do you mean the first week after you file or something else? I'm new to all this and trying to learn the ropes.

Yara Khalil

The wait week is usually the first week after you file. You don't get paid for it, but you still have to certify. It's like a deductible for unemployment.

Fired after 2 sick days in 4th quarter job - What to expect for UI claim call?

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I only worked for the 4th quarter and now I'm out of a job. The real kicker? They let me go after I was sick for just two days. 😒 I'm not sure what to expect when I call about my claim. Anyone been through something similar? What kind of questions should I be ready for?
