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!

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.

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.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! 'In progress' is just their way of saying 'we'll get to you when we feel like it.' I've been waiting 5 weeks for my claim to move past this stupid status. Meanwhile they expect us to jump through hoops with job searches and weekly certifications while they take their sweet time.
I feel your frustration but getting angry won't speed up the process. The adjudication really does take time, especially if there are complications with your case.

From an economic perspective, structural unemployment is considered the most serious because it represents permanent changes in the labor market rather than temporary fluctuations. It typically lasts longer and requires more intervention to resolve. NYS Department of Labor recognizes this and has specific programs for structurally unemployed workers including Trade Adjustment Assistance if your job loss was trade-related.

The system is designed so employers aren't paying benefits directly but you're still funding it through the UI tax system. If you have trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor about your tax rate or have questions about claims filed against your account, I used claimyr.com recently and they got me through to an agent really quickly. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling.

•That's helpful, I'll probably need to talk to someone about how this affects my account since I've never had claims before.

Just make sure you respond to any requests for information from NYS Department of Labor about the separations. If they need verification about why the employees were laid off you want to respond quickly or it can delay their benefits and create problems for everyone.
