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!

wait so the pandemic unemployment is over?? I thought there were still extra programs available
The pandemic programs like PUA and PEUC ended in 2021. Now it's just regular unemployment insurance, but that's what most people qualify for anyway if they had traditional employment.
Just remember you'll need to do the job search requirements now too. I think it's 3 job search activities per week and you have to keep a log. The NYS Department of Labor website has all the details about what counts as a valid job search activity.
Good to know, thanks! I'll make sure to start tracking that right away.

This is exactly why I gave up on my UI claim. The whole system is rigged. Companies exploit prison labor, pay us nothing, then we get blamed for not working hard enough. NYS Department of Labor just pushes us through their broken job search requirements while ignoring the real problems.
I understand your frustration, but giving up on benefits you're entitled to only hurts you. The system has problems, but you still need to eat while we work on fixing it.

I'm going through something similar right now. Filed my claim 2 weeks ago and it's stuck in adjudication while they investigate the separation. My old boss is probably telling them I was a terrible employee when really they just wanted to cut costs. It's so stressful not knowing if I'll get approved.
Hang in there! The adjudication process is nerve-wracking but they're pretty fair about it. Make sure you check your my.ny.gov account regularly for any requests for additional information.
The whole system is rigged against workers anyway. Even if you do everything right, employers will find ways to contest your claim just to be vindictive. NYS Department of Labor should automatically approve anyone who gets fired unless there's CLEAR evidence of misconduct, not put us through these lengthy investigations.
I mean, I get the frustration but they do have to investigate to prevent fraud. The process just needs to be faster.

I tried calling NYS Department of Labor about certification issues last month and couldn't get through for days. If you run into any problems with the online system, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually gets you connected to a live agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.

•How much does something like that cost? Seems too good to be true.

•It's not free but worth it when you're stuck. Way better than spending all day redialing the same number.

Just file it whenever you remember, honestly. I've done mine at all hours and never had an issue. The important thing is just getting it done within the week.
