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 ā 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 happened to my neighbor and it turned out his ex-wife had applied using his info. Any chance someone who has your personal details might've done this?
Pro tip: Try calling your local state representative's office. Sometimes they can help push things through with the DoL faster. Worth a shot!
Kelsey Chin
ā¢This! š My rep's office was super helpful when I had issues last year. They have direct lines to DoL.

Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all show up at the unemployment office in person. Cant ignore us if were right in front of them š
Lol imagine the chaos. But for real, some offices are open for in-person help now. Might be worth checking!
Ava Thompson
ā¢careful with that. i tried it and they just gave me a phone number to call š
Hey OP, what state are you in? The process can vary a lot depending on location. Might help to know for more specific advice.
Nia Williams
ā¢Good point, I should've mentioned that. I'm in New York.
Zainab Ali
ā¢Oof, NY is tough. Their system got overwhelmed during covid and never really recovered. Hang in there!

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help push things through.
Emma Johnson
Just a heads up, I heard they're doing a big sweep of pending accounts next week. Might be worth trying to call again then. Good luck everyone!
Liam Brown
ā¢Where did you hear this? Can you share a source?
Emma Johnson
ā¢My cousin works for the DOL. Can't say more than that, but thought I'd pass it along.

Here's what you need to know about this situation: ā¢ The New York State Department of Labor had a technical error on April 25 ā¢ They accidentally sent an email about unemployment insurance to the wrong mailing list ā¢ If you received this email and didn't apply for benefits, it was sent to you by mistake ā¢ Your identity has NOT been compromised ā¢ You can safely disregard the initial message ā¢ They've sent out a follow-up email explaining the error While it's concerning that such a mistake could happen, it's important to remember that errors can occur in any system. The quick follow-up and clear explanation from the Department of Labor is actually a good sign of their commitment to transparency. If you're still worried, you can always monitor your credit report for any suspicious activity, but in this case, it seems to be a simple (though widespread) clerical error.
Nick Kravitz
ā¢Still doesn't excuse the fact that they messed up in the first place. What if this happens with our personal info next time?
That's a valid concern. It's always good to stay vigilant about our personal information, regardless of who's handling it.
Hannah White
Am I the only one who's more worried about how easy it seems to be to apply for unemployment in someone else's name? Like, what if someone actually did that to me?
Omg I didn't even think of that š± Now I'm paranoid
Mateo Silva
ā¢Chill, guys. There are verification processes in place. It's not that easy to commit fraud.
Ella Thompson
Pro tip: if u get through, ask for a tier 2 specialist right away. They have more power to fix stuff like waiting week errors.

guys i think i found a loophole. if you file a new claim it sometimes resets the waiting week. worked for my cousin. might be worth a try?

ā¢Careful with this advice. Filing a new claim when you shouldn't can mess things up even more. Always double check before doing something like that.
