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!

Don't get your hopes up too high. The whole system is designed to deny as many people as possible. They'll probably say your attendance issues were willful misconduct and deny your claim. Then you'll have to appeal and wait months for a hearing. It's all a joke.
That's not necessarily true. If the attendance issues were due to transportation problems beyond their control, it might not be considered misconduct. Worth applying and letting NYS Department of Labor make the determination.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to ask about work search requirements, I recently discovered this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you get through to unemployment agents by phone. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. I was stuck on hold for hours trying to get answers about my job search log, but with their help I actually spoke to someone within 20 minutes.
Interesting, I might check that out. The phone lines are always busy when I try to call.
Never heard of that but anything to avoid sitting on hold for 3 hours sounds good to me lol

I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months trying to get through to someone about my claim status, and honestly the phone system is impossible. If you ever need to actually talk to them about unemployment stuff, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through their phone lines. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting disconnected.
Never heard of that but sounds useful. The NYS Department of Labor phone system is definitely a nightmare when you actually need help.

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?

The whole system is a mess if you ask me. Filed in June and they flagged my claim for some random reason, took 8 weeks to sort out. No explanation, just 'additional review required.' Meanwhile bills don't stop coming...
