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!

Just remember whatever rate they give you, you still have to do the weekly claims and job search requirements. The money isn't automatic even after your claim is approved. I learned that the hard way when I missed filing one week and lost that payment completely.
If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to check on your claim status or ask questions about your benefit rate, I used a service called Claimyr that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a website at claimyr.com and there's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.
honestly the nys system is so backed up right now, anything that helps you actually talk to someone is worth it

The NYS Department of Labor system is honestly confusing about this stuff. I spent forever trying to figure out which application to fill out. If you're having trouble getting through to them by phone (which you probably will), I used a service called Claimyr that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI and the site is claimyr.com. Made the whole process way less stressful than sitting on hold for hours.
Never heard of that service but honestly anything is better than trying to call NYS Department of Labor directly. Those wait times are insane.
Just apply for regular unemployment insurance through my.ny.gov - that's what 99% of people need. Don't overthink it. The system will tell you if you're not eligible for something. I made the mistake of researching too much instead of just filing and it delayed my claim by weeks.
Good point, I'll just start the application tonight and see what happens. Thanks everyone!

The system is so messed up!!! I know people who quit for way less serious reasons and somehow got unemployment while others who had legitimate harassment cases got denied. It's like playing the lottery with NYS Department of Labor adjudication. The whole process is designed to deny as many claims as possible.

ugh the NYS Department of Labor phone system is impossible to get through to ask questions like this. I've been trying to call for three days about my own claim issue and just get hung up on every time. The website has info but it's confusing when you have specific situations.
Have you tried Claimyr? I used it last month when I couldn't get through to NYS Department of Labor. It's at claimyr.com and they basically get you connected to an actual agent. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling.
Never heard of that but I'll check it out. At this point I'll try anything to actually talk to someone.

If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor to ask specific questions about your transition back to work, I used a 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 that shows how it works. It was really helpful when I needed to clarify some confusing rules about reporting my new job.

•Interesting, I've been trying to call for weeks but can never get through. Did you have to pay for that service?

just stop filing when you start working full time its not that complicated. the system will figure itself out

•That's not correct advice. You should continue filing and reporting your work until NYS Department of Labor determines you're no longer eligible. Stopping abruptly without proper reporting could cause issues.
