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.

Been on unemployment 3 times over the years and never had to pay anything back. Your neighbor probably doesn't know what they're talking about

ugh the whole system is broken!! they deny claims left and right and then wonder why homelessness is rising and families are falling apart. I was denied too for 'insufficient wages' even though I worked full time for 2 years. TOOK FOREVER to get it straightened out and by then I was already behind on everything. The stress alone makes you sick which costs the healthcare system more money
Sorry to hear about your situation. The insufficient wages denial usually means they couldn't verify your employment history properly. Did you eventually get it resolved?

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS A JOKE! They make you jump through hoops for benefits you've already paid into through payroll taxes. I've been waiting 6 weeks and still stuck in adjudication hell with no explanation. Meanwhile bills keep piling up and they act like we're asking for charity instead of our own money!
I feel your frustration but staying on top of the process really helps. Document everything and keep following up.

If you're having trouble reaching NYS Department of Labor to clarify your situation, I had success using a service called Claimyr at claimyr.com. They help you get through to an actual agent instead of being stuck in phone queue hell. There's a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI that shows how it works. Really helped me get answers about my disqualification appeal.

The worst part about disqualifications is they can be retroactive. Like if they find out later you weren't following the rules, they can demand back all the money you already received as an overpayment. That's scary stuff right there.
