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!

When will benefits resume after UI overpayment? Need help contacting NYDOL!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle. I had an overpayment on my unemployment benefits and I'm trying to figure out when I'll start receiving benefits again. Has anyone been through this? Any advice on how to get in touch with someone who can give me a straight answer? I've been trying to call but it's like hitting a brick wall.

Tips for backdating UI claim? Successfully done it before, need help now

Hey everyone, I'm trying to backdate my unemployment claim. Has anyone had any luck with this recently? I've done it before, but I'm not sure if the process has changed. Any tips or experiences would be really helpful!

Pro tip: keep a detailed log of all your calls, including date, time, and who you spoke with. It'll help if you need to escalate your case later.

Stuck in UI claim limbo - tips for getting through to NYDOL?

I've been waiting forever for my unemployment claim to process and I'm getting desperate. No updates, no reasons for the delay, nothing. I'm about to call them again but I'm dreading it. Anyone have any tips on what to say or how to get through to someone who can actually help? I'm at my wit's end here.

Hey OP, have you checked if you're eligible for any other assistance programs while you're waiting for your unemployment to kick back in? Might be worth looking into food banks or rental assistance if you're strapped for cash.

NYDOL: Can't get through on phone, forgot PIN, need to verify docs received. Help!

I'm trying to check if the DOL received my documents from last week, but I can't get through on the phone. The message says they're too busy to take calls. I also realized I forgot my PIN. Does anyone know what to do in this situation? Is the PIN for the DOL or something else?

Javier Morales

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. Sometimes they can help expedite things or at least get you some answers. Worth a shot!

NYDOL: 8 weeks, no determination on UI claim. 1099 contractor. Help?

I've been waiting 8 weeks for my unemployment claim determination and still nothing. They told me it would take longer because my last job was as a 1099 contractor, but this is ridiculous. I'm getting worried about my finances. Anyone else dealing with long wait times? Any advice on how to speed things up or what to expect?

Rachel Clark

word of advice: start looking for work if you haven't already. UI is taking forever these days and you don't wanna be left high and dry if they deny you.

Unemployment claim stuck in limbo - adjudication closed but still pending after 2 weeks. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I applied two weeks ago and it's still pending. I called and they told me the adjudication is closed, but I have no idea what that means for my claim status. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm trying to figure out what's going on and what I need to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Giovanni Conti

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold last week. Also, be super nice to the person who answers. They deal with angry people all day and might be more helpful if you're friendly.

NYSDOL: How to report out-of-state wages when system doesn't give the option?

Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with my unemployment application. I need to enter wages from another state, but the system didn't give me that option. It's asking me to call them to finish the application. Has anyone dealt with this before? What should I expect when I call? I'm a bit nervous about the whole process.

When will UI benefits resume after overpayment issue? (NYDOL)

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with an overpayment issue and I'm trying to figure out when I'll start receiving benefits again. It's been a problem since yesterday and I'm getting pretty worried. Has anyone else gone through this? Any advice on how to handle it or how long it usually takes to resolve?

Yara Khalil

Quick question - did you receive a notice about the overpayment? There should be instructions on there about how to proceed. If you didn't get one, that could be part of the problem.
