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!

I've been trying to call NYS Department of Labor for weeks about my own denial but can never get through! The phone system is impossible. Has anyone found a way to actually talk to a human there?

I was having the same problem until someone told me about claimyr.com - it's a service that calls NYS Department of Labor for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. I used it last week and finally got to speak with someone about my adjudication issue. There's a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of frustrating busy signals.

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.

yeah mine said in progress too but then i got a letter in the mail asking for more info about why i left my job. check your mail and also look for any messages in your online account, sometimes they request stuff and you don't notice

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.

wait so there are different TYPES of unemployment?? i thought unemployment was just unemployment. i've been filing my weekly claims with NYS Department of Labor for 6 weeks and nobody ever mentioned this to me

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.

Thanks for asking this! I was wondering the same thing when I saw different unemployment rates mentioned for different states on the news.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS A JOKE! I've been waiting 6 WEEKS and still nothing. They ask for more documentation, then lose it, then ask again. Meanwhile I'm behind on rent and they don't care at all.
