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 was unemployed for 6 months last year and what worked for me was focusing on the positive aspects. I mentioned that I used the time to take care of family responsibilities and also to be strategic about my next career move. Most interviewers seemed to respect that I wasn't just jumping into any job.

I had a similar situation and couldn't get through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks to ask about my work history. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to an agent who could review my eligibility over the phone. There's even a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Way easier than trying to navigate the phone system myself.
How much did that cost though? Seems like you should be able to get this info for free.
I was spending hours trying to get through on my own and getting nowhere. Sometimes it's worth it to just get a real answer instead of guessing about something this important.

The whole system is so confusing honestly. I filed three weeks ago and I'm still waiting for my first payment because they said my claim is under adjudication whatever that means. The website just says pending with no explanation of how long this takes.
Adjudication means they're reviewing your claim to determine eligibility. This can happen if there's a question about why you lost your job or if you have earnings from multiple employers. It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity of your case.
6 weeks?! That's insane, how are people supposed to pay bills while waiting that long?

I had a similar situation where I couldn't get through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks to check on my adjudication status, which made the anxiety so much worse. A friend told me about this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that basically calls the unemployment office for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. I was skeptical at first but watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) and decided to try it. Got through to someone at NYS Department of Labor the same day and found out my claim just needed one additional document. Having that clarity really helped with the mental stress of not knowing.
Interesting, I might look into that. The not knowing what's happening with my claim is definitely making everything worse.
never heard of that but anything is better than sitting on hold for 3 hours just to get disconnected
This might sound weird but I found it helpful to treat job searching like a part-time job - work on it for 4-5 hours a day then give yourself permission to do other things. The guilt of 'I should always be looking for work' was eating me alive. Also, if you're really struggling mentally, many areas have free counseling services for people dealing with unemployment.
That's actually really good advice about treating it like part-time work. I think I'm putting too much pressure on myself to be job hunting 24/7.

ugh the whole unemployment system is broken anyway, doesnt matter what the bible says when NYS Department of Labor just denies everyone automatically these days

•That's not entirely true. Many claims do get approved, and appeals can be successful if you have good documentation.

Praying for you! I went through something similar and found comfort in Psalm 37:25 - 'I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his descendants begging bread.' Keep faith that this season will pass.
