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!

The system is designed so employers aren't paying benefits directly but you're still funding it through the UI tax system. If you have trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about your tax rate or have questions about claims filed against your account, I used claimyr.com recently and they got me through to an agent really quickly. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling.
That's helpful, I'll probably need to talk to someone about how this affects my account since I've never had claims before.

same thing happened to my cousin but it turned out to be nothing major. just had to resubmit some paperwork and everything was fine
The important thing is to respond to the rework requirement promptly. NYS Department of Labor gives you a deadline (usually 10-30 days) to complete whatever they're asking for. If you miss the deadline, your claim could be suspended. Keep filing your weekly claims in the meantime and document everything you submit. Save copies of all correspondence and take screenshots of your online submissions.
Good point about the deadline. The letter says I have 21 days but doesn't specify exactly what I need to do. I'll definitely keep filing my weekly claims though.

Manufacturing jobs are tough to replace nowadays. I was in a similar situation a few years back and it took me almost the full 26 weeks to find something decent. Don't get discouraged if it takes longer than expected - the job market for experienced workers can be challenging. Just make sure you're documenting all your job search activities because NYS Department of Labor can audit that stuff.
OMG this is exactly what I needed to know! I'm in week 3 of unemployment and getting super anxious about running out of money. 26 weeks seems reasonable but not great... do they ever extend it if there's like a recession or something??
Extended benefits programs can be triggered during high unemployment periods, but they're not guaranteed and the requirements are strict. Don't plan your finances around potential extensions.

From an economic perspective, structural unemployment is considered the most serious because it represents permanent changes in the labor market rather than temporary fluctuations. It typically lasts longer and requires more intervention to resolve. NYS Department of Labor recognizes this and has specific programs for structurally unemployed workers including Trade Adjustment Assistance if your job loss was trade-related.

Just remember the 26 weeks is the MAXIMUM. If you find a job before then or if there are any issues with your claim, it could be shorter. Also if you refuse suitable work or don't meet the weekly requirements, NYS Department of Labor can disqualify you.

26 weeks seems like nothing when you're actually looking for work in this job market! Took me 8 months to find something decent last time I was unemployed.

•That's why it's important to start your job search immediately and not wait. The 26 weeks goes by faster than you think, especially if you're being selective about positions.
