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!

I had so much trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my payments were delayed last month. Spent hours on hold just to get disconnected. Finally used claimyr.com to get connected to an actual agent and they sorted out a processing issue I didn't even know existed. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way easier than dealing with the phone system myself.
Good to know there's a backup option if something goes wrong with my payment timing.

just went through this myself actually. got terminated in december and filed right away. took about 3 weeks for them to approve my claim but i did get it. employer tried to say it was misconduct but i had documentation showing it was really about budget cuts. definitely fight it if they deny you
My cousin got fired and they told him he couldn't get unemployment but I think he was wrong about that. Sounds like maybe he just didn't fight it or something?
It's possible he was initially denied but didn't appeal the decision. Many people don't realize they have the right to appeal a denial, and sometimes the initial determination gets overturned on appeal.

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 was worried about this exact thing when I was dealing with a stuck claim that wouldn't process. Couldn't get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks to ask questions. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person who explained everything about reporting requirements and what could affect my benefits. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made such a difference to actually talk to someone who knew the rules.
Interesting, never heard of that service. Did they charge a lot for helping you get through to NYS Department of Labor?
It was worth it for me because I was so stressed about messing something up. Much easier than spending hours on hold trying to reach someone myself.

UGH this is so typical of NYS Department of Labor!! They make you jump through all these hoops just to get your own money. I bet they're hoping you'll just give up and stop claiming. The system is designed to frustrate people into quitting.

•I mean, they do have to verify earnings to prevent fraud, but yeah the communication could be way better.

definitely check for any messages in your account like others said. also make sure you have all your documentation ready - pay stubs, 1099s, anything that shows the freelance income you reported. they might ask for it
