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!

The whole system is designed to confuse people and pay out as little as possible! I've been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months and they make everything unnecessarily complicated. Your benefit amount is probably exactly what they intended - just enough to keep you from starving but not enough to live comfortably. Don't expect any help from their customer service either.
I feel you on the customer service but the benefit calculation is actually pretty straightforward once you understand the base period thing. It's just not explained well anywhere.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO DENY PEOPLE! They probably just rubber stamped whatever your employer said without investigating. I've seen this happen so many times - they side with employers automatically even when they're lying about the reason for termination.
While the system has issues, appeals do work when you have evidence. Don't give up before trying the proper channels.

I tried calling NYS Department of Labor about certification issues last month and couldn't get through for days. If you run into any problems with the online system, I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually gets you connected to a live agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.
How much does something like that cost? Seems too good to be true.
It's not free but worth it when you're stuck. Way better than spending all day redialing the same number.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to ask questions about your appeal, I had good luck using claimyr.com to get through to an actual agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of busy signals when I needed to clarify some appeal details.
Never heard of that service but honestly anything beats sitting on hold for 3 hours just to get disconnected

honestly the whole system is ridiculous. they force you to apply to jobs then penalize you for having standards about what youre willing to do. ive been dealing with NYS Department of Labor for months and its just one thing after another

Had something similar happen - interview went well but they wanted me to agree to random drug testing even though it was just data entry work. I didn't refuse outright but said I needed to think about it. Never heard back from them and NYS Department of Labor never questioned it on my weekly claims.
