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!

They also check with the IRS and state tax records. Plus if you file taxes next year and report income during a period when you claimed you weren't working, that's gonna raise red flags. The databases all talk to each other now so there's really no way to hide employment anymore.

I had such a hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I had questions about my waiting week. The phone lines are always busy and the website doesn't always have clear answers. I ended up using this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person at NYS Department of Labor. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Made a huge difference in getting my questions answered quickly.
That sounds helpful! I've been trying to call for days with no luck. Did they charge you for the service?
They do charge a fee but honestly it was worth it to actually talk to someone who could explain the waiting week criteria properly instead of being stuck on hold forever.

ugh the NYS Department of Labor website is such a pain to navigate and their phone lines are always busy! I spent hours trying to get through when I had questions about my application. Has anyone found a better way to actually talk to someone there?
I had the same problem trying to reach NYS Department of Labor agents about my claim status. After weeks of busy signals, I found this service called Claimyr at claimyr.com that actually gets you through to unemployment agents. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. It was a lifesaver when I needed to resolve an adjudication issue that was holding up my benefits.
That sounds too good to be true but at this point I'm willing to try anything to get answers about my claim.

The whole system is rigged anyway. They say unemployment goes down but half the people just stop looking for work or take crappy part-time jobs that don't pay enough to live on. The real unemployment rate is way higher than what they report. Companies just want cheap labor now.
yeah but at least if more jobs open up we have more options even if they're not perfect

This is really important data to have. In my experience working with unemployment cases, women of color, especially Black women and Latinas, face disproportionately high unemployment rates in NY. The intersectionality of race and gender creates additional barriers. NYS Department of Labor should have this broken down in their annual reports, but you might need to dig through several years of data to establish patterns for your case.

•That makes sense about the intersectionality aspect. I'll look for the annual reports. Do you know if NYS Department of Labor publishes these quarterly or just annually?

•I understand the frustration, but NYS Department of Labor does actually maintain pretty detailed demographic data. It's required for federal reporting. The challenge is usually accessing it in a format that's useful for individual cases.
