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!

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed to check on my application status. Kept getting busy signals and disconnected calls. Someone on here mentioned using Claimyr to help get through to an actual agent - you can check out their site at claimyr.com and they have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Ended up saving me a lot of frustration trying to reach someone.
Interesting, never heard of that service before. Might be worth checking out if I run into issues.

I've been waiting 3 weeks just to get my monetary determination! The whole process is so slow and when you call NYS Department of Labor you can never get through to an actual person. It's frustrating when you need to know these amounts to plan your budget.
I had the same problem with getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone. Someone on here recommended using Claimyr (claimyr.com) - it's a service that calls for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. I watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) and decided to try it. Got through in like 20 minutes and was able to get my claim status updated. Might be worth checking out if you keep having phone issues.

Don't forget you need to register for work search activities right away too. The job search requirements kick in immediately so have your resume ready and start thinking about where you'll be applying. NYS Department of Labor is pretty strict about the work search log.

I had trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor when my claim was taking forever. Ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Turned out my employer hadn't responded to their request for information, and the agent was able to follow up directly.
How much does something like that cost? I'm already stressed about money.
It's worth it if you're stuck and can't get through the regular phone lines. Way less stressful than calling 50 times a day and getting disconnected.

oh i know exactly what youre talking about! try using your phone instead of computer sometimes that works better for some reason. also if you have the claim number you can sometimes get status info by calling the automated line

•Good idea about trying mobile. What's the automated line number? Is it different from the main claims number?

Just wanted to say I feel your pain. Been there myself when I was between jobs last year. The waiting and not knowing is the worst part but hang in there!
