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!

Filed twice in the past year unfortunately - once in February 2024 and again in November when I got laid off AGAIN. Second time was definitely faster, maybe because I was already in their system? Both times had to do the job search log which is annoying but not too bad if you stay on top of it.
Sorry to hear about the double layoffs - that's rough. How many job contacts do you need to log per week?

Wait so there's really no waiting period at all? I thought you had to prove you were actively looking for work for at least a week or something. The whole system is so confusing, I put off applying for like 3 weeks when I got fired thinking I had to wait!
Nope, no waiting period to apply! The job search requirement kicks in after you start receiving benefits, but you can file your initial claim immediately. You might have missed out on some weeks of benefits by waiting - definitely file today if you haven't already.

I was worried about this exact thing when I was dealing with a stuck claim that wouldn't process. Couldn't get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks to ask questions. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person who explained everything about reporting requirements and what could affect my benefits. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made such a difference to actually talk to someone who knew the rules.
Interesting, never heard of that service. Did they charge a lot for helping you get through to NYS Department of Labor?
It was worth it for me because I was so stressed about messing something up. Much easier than spending hours on hold trying to reach someone myself.

I had so much trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my payments were delayed last month. Spent hours on hold just to get disconnected. Finally used claimyr.com to get connected to an actual agent and they sorted out a processing issue I didn't even know existed. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way easier than dealing with the phone system myself.
Good to know there's a backup option if something goes wrong with my payment timing.

The whole system is rigged anyway. They say unemployment goes down but half the people just stop looking for work or take crappy part-time jobs that don't pay enough to live on. The real unemployment rate is way higher than what they report. Companies just want cheap labor now.

•yeah but at least if more jobs open up we have more options even if they're not perfect

Same boat here! Been looking for 4 months in marketing too. I've noticed more remote positions opening up lately which is encouraging. Keep track of your applications for the job search log - I use a spreadsheet to make sure I hit the 3 contacts per week requirement.
