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 NYS Department of Labor for any unemployment questions while working on your paper, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to agents by phone. Check out claimyr.com - they even have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Might be useful if you need to verify any current unemployment data for your research.
Thanks for the tip! I'm actually doing fine with my current claim but that's good to know for future reference.
ugh this reminds me of how IMPOSSIBLE it is to get through to NYS Department of Labor these days... like during WWII the government actually WANTED to employ people but now they make it so hard to even file your weekly claims properly. sorry not helpful for your paper but just frustrated with the whole system
I feel you on that! The contrast is pretty stark when you think about it.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to file your claim, I recently discovered this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helps you actually reach a live agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. I was stuck trying to get through for days and this got me connected in about 20 minutes. Really helped me get my claim moving when I couldn't reach anyone through the regular phone lines.
Interesting, I might need this if I run into issues. Have you used it successfully?
Yeah, worked great for me. I was skeptical at first but it actually got me through to resolve an adjudication issue that had been pending for weeks.

I quit my job last month because of a toxic boss too and I'm still waiting to hear back from NYS Department of Labor. The waiting is killing me but everyone says to just be patient with the adjudication process.

honestly the NYS Department of Labor phone system is so bad that if you run into any issues you'll spend hours trying to reach someone. I had a problem with my weekly claim filing and couldn't get through for days. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get connected to an actual agent. They have a video demo that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth bookmarking in case you need to talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor.
Never heard of that service before but the phone situation is definitely frustrating. Thanks for sharing!
Stick with unemployment if you can afford it! I made the mistake of taking a crappy retail job too quickly after getting laid off and it made interviewing for real positions almost impossible. Plus once you're working, you can't collect unemployment anymore even if the new job doesn't work out (well, you can but you'd have to reapply and qualify all over again).

Just wanted to share that my claim got approved yesterday after exactly 18 days. I was also worried when it hit the 2 week mark with no updates, but it came through. Hang in there!

The timing really depends on your specific situation. If you were fired for misconduct or quit voluntarily, expect delays while they investigate. Layoffs usually process faster since there's less to verify. My brother got his approved in 12 days but my cousin who got fired is still waiting after a month because they're doing interviews with witnesses and stuff.

•Mine was definitely a layoff so that gives me some hope. The whole department got eliminated when they moved production overseas.
