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!

Low unemployment is just a political talking point honestly. Doesnt mean much when most of the jobs are part time retail with no benefits. The whole system is rigged against working people.

Wait, can employers just contest any claim they want?? That seems unfair if you were actually laid off. What if they're just trying to avoid paying into the unemployment system?
Employers can contest claims, but they need to provide evidence to support their position. NYS Department of Labor investigates both sides. Frivolous contests usually don't succeed, but it does delay your benefits unfortunately.
I had trouble reaching anyone at NYS Department of Labor when my claim was contested. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Finally used claimyr.com to get through to an actual agent who could explain the process and check my claim status. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Honestly saved me so much frustration trying to call myself.
How long did it take to get through with that service? I've been trying to call for days with no luck.

The NYS Department of Labor system is ridiculous with seasonal workers. I've been doing this for 5 years and they STILL make me jump through hoops every time. Last year they tried to say I wasn't actively seeking work even though I had a return date. Had to appeal and everything.
Oh no that sounds stressful! Did you win the appeal?

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to get your tax documents or have questions about your benefit amounts, I used claimyr.com last month to actually get through to someone. They have this system that calls for you and gets you connected to a real person. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals.
That's interesting, never heard of that service before. Did it actually work to get you through?
Yeah it worked really well. I needed to verify some payment dates for my taxes and couldn't get through the normal way. They got me connected within like 20 minutes.

The restaurant industry can be complicated for unemployment because of tip reporting issues. Make sure all your wages were properly reported to NYS Department of Labor by your employer. Sometimes cash tips that weren't reported can affect your benefit calculation even if you technically worked enough.

•That's unfortunately common in the restaurant industry. You might need to provide additional documentation to NYS Department of Labor to show your actual earnings if tips weren't properly reported.
