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!

This is exactly why I gave up on my UI claim. The whole system is rigged. Companies exploit prison labor, pay us nothing, then we get blamed for not working hard enough. NYS Department of Labor just pushes us through their broken job search requirements while ignoring the real problems.
I understand your frustration, but giving up on benefits you're entitled to only hurts you. The system has problems, but you still need to eat while we work on fixing it.

I'm going through something similar right now. Filed my claim 2 weeks ago and it's stuck in adjudication while they investigate the separation. My old boss is probably telling them I was a terrible employee when really they just wanted to cut costs. It's so stressful not knowing if I'll get approved.
Hang in there! The adjudication process is nerve-wracking but they're pretty fair about it. Make sure you check your my.ny.gov account regularly for any requests for additional information.
The whole system is rigged against workers anyway. Even if you do everything right, employers will find ways to contest your claim just to be vindictive. NYS Department of Labor should automatically approve anyone who gets fired unless there's CLEAR evidence of misconduct, not put us through these lengthy investigations.
I mean, I get the frustration but they do have to investigate to prevent fraud. The process just needs to be faster.

I think unemployment is around 4% statewide but honestly who knows with all the different ways they count it. The important thing is you qualify if you lost your job through no fault of your own.

THE SYSTEM IS SO CONFUSING!! why can't they just have a simple list of who can and can't apply instead of making everyone guess if they qualify or not. I spent weeks worried I couldn't file only to find out I was eligible the whole time.
I know right? The website makes it sound like almost nobody qualifies but most people who lost their job through no fault of their own can file
Bottom line - if your friend was fired from a regular W-2 job and it wasn't for serious misconduct, she should definitely try filing a claim. NYS Department of Labor will review her case during adjudication and make the final determination. It's better to apply and potentially get denied than not apply at all and miss out on benefits she's entitled to.

The unemployment rate in NY is actually not terrible compared to some other places right now, but that doesn't mean the NYS Department of Labor system is running smoothly. My advice is file your weekly claims religiously even if your initial claim is still pending. Missing a week can cause huge problems later.

ugh don't even get me started on how broken this whole system is!! I've been fighting with them for MONTHS over an overpayment notice that makes no sense. They want me to pay back $2800 because apparently I didn't report some work correctly but I followed their instructions exactly. The whole department is a joke and they make it impossible to talk to anyone who can actually help.
