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!

Your boss sounds like he's trying to make you feel bad for claiming benefits you're entitled to. That's manipulative behavior and you shouldn't feel guilty about filing. The unemployment system exists specifically for situations like yours.
Thank you for saying that. I was starting to second-guess myself about filing.

ugh the whole system is broken!! they deny claims for the stupidest reasons and then make YOU prove you deserve benefits that you already paid for. immigration has nothing to do with unemployment if youre legally authorized to work
Actually immigration status can affect certain benefit programs but not regular UI if you're work-authorized. The confusion might be that some people mix up different types of assistance. For unemployment insurance, if you worked and paid into the system, your immigration status shouldn't matter as long as you were legally employed.
exactly this - I think people confuse UI with other welfare programs that have different rules

Ugh the whole system is so frustrating!! Employers lie all the time and NYS Department of Labor just believes whatever they say first. I've been trying to get through to an actual person at NYS Department of Labor for WEEKS about my own claim issues. The phone system is impossible.
I had the same problem reaching NYS Department of Labor by phone until someone told me about this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com). They basically call for you and get you connected to an actual agent. I was skeptical but watched their demo video (https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI) and decided to try it. Got through the same day and finally got my adjudication issue resolved. Might be worth checking out if you can't get through on your own.
wait so if you quit because of unsafe conditions that counts as being fired? i didnt know that was a thing
Not exactly. It's called constructive discharge - when working conditions become so intolerable that a reasonable person would feel forced to quit. NYS Department of Labor has to determine if the conditions were severe enough to justify leaving.

most important thing is don't admit to anything! even if you think you made mistakes don't say that at the hearing
Actually, being honest is better. You can acknowledge mistakes while explaining they weren't intentional misconduct. The hearing officer can tell if you're being evasive.

File NOW! Don't wait even one day. I made that mistake and lost a whole week of benefits because I thought I needed to wait or something. The NYS Department of Labor system is set up so your benefit year starts when you file, not when you lost your job. Even if they deny you initially, you can appeal and still get paid retroactively from your filing date.
