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!

ugh the whole system is so confusing!! i got denied twice before finally getting approved and still dont really understand why. they make it so hard for people who actually need help
You can request a copy of your employer's response to the NYS Department of Labor through the appeals process. If there's a discrepancy between what they told you versus what they reported, that's definitely grounds for an appeal. You have 30 days from the determination date to file an appeal hearing request.

just remember that unemployment insurance is basically insurance for employees that employers pay into. it's designed to help people when they lose their jobs through no fault of their own. the cost to employers is part of doing business and helps maintain economic stability
One thing to keep in mind - if your company is new or has limited history with NYS Department of Labor, you might be on a standard rate rather than an experience-based rate initially. The experience rating kicks in once you have enough history for them to calculate it properly.
We've been in business for about 4 years now, so I think we're past that initial period. I'll check our recent statements to see what our current rate structure looks like.

The whole system is designed to wear you down mentally. Between the weekly certifications, the job search requirements, and the constant fear that one mistake will mess up your benefits - it's psychological warfare honestly.
That's a bit dramatic don't you think? I mean yes it's stressful but they have procedures for a reason...
Tell that to someone who's been waiting in adjudication for 2 months with no income. The stress is real and it's by design.

I had such a hard time getting through to NYS Department of Labor when my employer contested my claim. Spent weeks calling and getting busy signals or being hung up on. Finally found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me actually talk to someone at NYS Department of Labor. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Made such a difference in getting my adjudication resolved quickly instead of waiting months.
Is that legit? I'm always suspicious of services that charge to help with government stuff but if it actually works...
Yeah it's real, they just help you get through to an actual person instead of sitting on hold forever. Worth it when you need answers about your claim status.
File immediately! Even if there's a dispute about whether you quit or were fired, you want to get your claim in the system. NYS Department of Labor will sort out the details during adjudication. Don't let your employer's paperwork scare you - they probably did that to try to avoid paying unemployment insurance. Happens all the time unfortunately.

THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO DENY PEOPLE!! I worked for 15 years and got denied because of some technicality about my last day of work vs when I filed. They make it impossible on purpose to save money.

•I feel you on the frustration but there are legitimate appeal processes if you think you were wrongly denied.
