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!

honestly not sure about the economics but glad ur getting benefits. make sure u keep filing those weekly claims on time or youll have issues with NYS Department of Labor
Yeah I've been super careful about filing every Sunday night. The last thing I need is my claim getting suspended for missing a deadline.

This reminds me of when I worked at a coffee shop in 2019 and they cut hours after the wage increase. I didn't qualify for unemployment then because I was still working part-time, but it was really stressful trying to make ends meet with reduced hours. The owner was a nice guy but said he literally couldn't afford to keep everyone at full hours. It's a tough situation for everyone involved - workers need living wages but small businesses are struggling too. At least now with your unemployment you have some income while you search for something new.

Good point, I should probably be more optimistic about the job market situation even if the claim process is stressful.

The whole system is ridiculous if you ask me. They make you jump through hoops to get unemployment benefits when you're already struggling, then they tax you on it like it's some kind of bonus income. Meanwhile rich people get tax breaks for their investments. Sorry for the rant but this stuff makes me so angry.

I had so much trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor to verify my employer's tax info was correct for my claim. Kept getting busy signals for weeks! Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get connected to an actual agent. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Really helped me get my employer wage verification issues sorted out quickly.
how much does that service cost? sounds too good to be true
It's actually pretty reasonable for what it does - just gets you connected to the right person instead of sitting on hold forever. Worth it when you're dealing with employer tax disputes.
Just want to confirm - in NY employees definitely don't pay into unemployment through payroll deductions right? I see SDI and other stuff taken out but not UI.

•Correct, New York employees don't pay unemployment insurance taxes. You might see disability insurance deductions but not unemployment. That's all on the employer side.

When I applied last year it took forever to get approved because they had to verify my employment history. Make sure all your employer information is exactly right on the application or you'll end up in adjudication hell like I did. NYS Department of Labor is really picky about details.

•What kind of employment information do they need exactly? I worked at a few different places in the past year.
