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!

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to check on your claim status, I used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped when I was stuck in adjudication limbo and couldn't get anyone on the phone.
Thanks, I'll check that out. The phone lines are always busy when I try calling.
Never heard of that but anything's better than sitting on hold for hours just to get disconnected!
THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS RIGGED!!! Companies will say ANYTHING to avoid paying claims even though they've been paying unemployment taxes for years. It's not like the money comes directly out of their pocket at that point - it's already been paid to the state. But they still fight every single claim because it affects their experience rating and future tax rates.
That's why they always try to make it seem like you were fired for cause or quit voluntarily. Saves them money in the long run even if they have to lie about it.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! 'In progress' is just their way of saying 'we'll get to you when we feel like it.' I've been waiting 5 weeks for my claim to move past this stupid status. Meanwhile they expect us to jump through hoops with job searches and weekly certifications while they take their sweet time.
I feel your frustration but getting angry won't speed up the process. The adjudication really does take time, especially if there are complications with your case.

This whole system is such a mess honestly. Whether it's state or federal funded doesn't matter when you can't even get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to get basic questions answered. I've been dealing with an overpayment notice for months and still don't understand how they calculated it.

Same thing happened to my brother - fired for 'poor performance' but really they just wanted to get rid of him before his probation period ended. He got unemployment no problem. Just be honest on your application and let NYS Department of Labor sort it out.

Processing time varies but usually 2-3 weeks if everything goes smoothly. Sometimes your claim goes into adjudication if they need to verify your employment or separation reason - that can add several more weeks. Make sure you have all your documentation ready when you file to avoid delays.

I went through this whole process last year when my restaurant closed. Honestly the hardest part was just understanding all the terminology at first - adjudication, monetary determination, waiting week, etc. But once you get into the routine of filing weekly it becomes pretty automatic. Just don't miss filing a week or you'll lose benefits for that period.
