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 no idea they offered training programs! I've been struggling to get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to ask about this stuff. The phone lines are always busy and when I do get through they just hang up on me. Has anyone found a better way to reach them?
That sounds too good to be true but I'm desperate at this point. Did they actually help you connect or is it just another scam?
No it's legit. I was skeptical too but it actually worked. Much better than spending hours on hold just to get disconnected.
Beyond claims processing, they maintain the state job bank, conduct labor market research, investigate benefit fraud, provide employer services for hiring, and manage federal grant programs for workforce development. They're also responsible for UI tax collection from employers and maintaining employment statistics.
wow that's a lot more than I thought! makes sense why they're always so backed up

Are you sure you completed all the required steps? Sometimes claims get delayed because people miss uploading their ID verification or don't complete the job search registration. Log into your my.ny.gov account and check if there are any pending items in your inbox that need attention.
I checked and there's nothing in my inbox that needs action. All my documents were uploaded when I filed.

Good point, I should probably be more optimistic about the job market situation even if the claim process is stressful.

•Yeah I've been super careful about filing every Sunday night. The last thing I need is my claim getting suspended for missing a deadline.

This reminds me of when I worked at a coffee shop in 2019 and they cut hours after the wage increase. I didn't qualify for unemployment then because I was still working part-time, but it was really stressful trying to make ends meet with reduced hours. The owner was a nice guy but said he literally couldn't afford to keep everyone at full hours. It's a tough situation for everyone involved - workers need living wages but small businesses are struggling too. At least now with your unemployment you have some income while you search for something new.
