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!

Wait I'm confused - I thought unemployment was like welfare and didn't count as income? This is my first time ever filing for UI and nobody told me about taxes when I applied.
No, unemployment insurance benefits are definitely taxable income. It's not welfare - you earned these benefits through your previous employment and payroll taxes. The confusion is understandable but you'll need to include it on your tax return.

this whole system is backwards! why should someone with more education have a harder time getting unemployment help? the computer algorithms probably flag people with advanced degrees as flight risks or something. its all messed up

The system is SO broken honestly. I've been fighting with NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my claim and they keep giving me different answers every time I finally get through to someone. Good luck getting anyone on the phone without waiting hours. And don't even get me started on their website crashing all the time when you're trying to file your weekly claim.

•Yeah the phone system is a nightmare. That's why people are using services like that Claimyr thing to get through. Worth it when you're dealing with claim issues.

College graduates can sometimes qualify if they worked during school. Check your base period earnings - you might be surprised. Also student loans don't count as income if you're wondering about that.
