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!

If you're having trouble reaching someone at NYS Department of Labor about your adjudication, I used a service called Claimyr that helped me get through to an actual agent. You can check it out at claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that explains how it works. I was able to get my claim status sorted out in like 20 minutes after weeks of trying to call myself.
Really? That actually worked for you? I've been calling the NYS Department of Labor number every morning and either get busy signals or get disconnected after waiting forever.
Yeah it was a lifesaver honestly. Way better than sitting on hold for hours just to get hung up on.
The whole system is rigged against workers. Companies will lie, cheat, and steal to avoid paying what they owe. I've seen employers claim people were fired for cause when they know damn well it was just downsizing. NYS Department of Labor needs to start penalizing companies that file false disputes.
totally agree with this! happened to my brother too and it took months to get resolved

I've been trying to get through to NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my partial claim and their phone lines are always busy. It's so frustrating when you need help understanding the system and can't reach anyone!
I had the same problem until someone told me about Claimyr. It's a service that helps you get through to NYS Department of Labor agents by calling for you. I used it last month when my claim got stuck in adjudication and actually got connected to someone within a few hours. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Way better than spending all day hitting redial!

Your former employer is trying to make you feel bad for using a system they were required to pay into. That's completely inappropriate. You earned the right to unemployment benefits through your work history. Don't let them guilt trip you for accessing benefits you're entitled to receive.

look the unemployment system has always been messed up but its better than having nothing at all. i went through this same stuff last year with the overpayments and adjudication BS but eventually it all worked out
OMG yes! The stress of dealing with NYS Department of Labor is worse than being unemployed sometimes. I had panic attacks every time I had to file my weekly claim because I was so worried about making a mistake.
If you're experiencing anxiety about filing weekly claims, consider printing out the questions beforehand and preparing your answers. The most common mistakes happen when people rush through the work search reporting section.

THE SYSTEM IS SO CONFUSING THO! Like why don't they explain this stuff better?? I spent weeks thinking I was gonna get arrested or something for filing while working. NYS Department of Labor website makes it sound like you can ONLY file if you're completely unemployed but that's not true at all!

•I totally agree the messaging could be clearer. The partial unemployment program isn't well publicized even though it helps so many people who have reduced hours.

Just make sure you understand the job search requirements too. Even on partial unemployment you usually still need to do work search activities, though they might be reduced since you're already working.
