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!

Manufacturing jobs are tough to replace nowadays. I was in a similar situation a few years back and it took me almost the full 26 weeks to find something decent. Don't get discouraged if it takes longer than expected - the job market for experienced workers can be challenging. Just make sure you're documenting all your job search activities because NYS Department of Labor can audit that stuff.
OMG this is exactly what I needed to know! I'm in week 3 of unemployment and getting super anxious about running out of money. 26 weeks seems reasonable but not great... do they ever extend it if there's like a recession or something??
Extended benefits programs can be triggered during high unemployment periods, but they're not guaranteed and the requirements are strict. Don't plan your finances around potential extensions.

This whole system is such a mess honestly. Whether it's state or federal funded doesn't matter when you can't even get through to anyone at NYS Department of Labor to get basic questions answered. I've been dealing with an overpayment notice for months and still don't understand how they calculated it.

Same thing happened to my brother - fired for 'poor performance' but really they just wanted to get rid of him before his probation period ended. He got unemployment no problem. Just be honest on your application and let NYS Department of Labor sort it out.

I mean the money is whatever but the real question is how fast you can get it and how long it lasts. 26 weeks goes by pretty quick if you're in a tough job market

Been on UI twice in the past few years and honestly it's been a lifesaver both times. The $504 weekly plus the extended benefits during tough economic periods really helped bridge the gap. Sure the NYS Department of Labor bureaucracy can be frustrating but the actual benefit structure is solid. Just make sure you understand the difference between regular UI and standby if your employer puts you on temporary layoff.

•Good point about standby - I'm on regular UI since my position was eliminated permanently. Glad to hear the system worked well for you overall.
