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!

The NYS Department of Labor statistics can be misleading because they don't capture the full picture. Many people are working multiple part-time jobs instead of one full-time position, or accepting significant pay cuts. The 'quality' of employment matters as much as the quantity. Have you considered updating your resume format or trying different job boards?

Good point about resume format. I've been using the same template for years - probably time to modernize it.

ugh this is so frustrating!! my dad keeps asking why i cant just get any job since unemployment is so low but he doesnt understand that most openings are either MLM scams or paying like $12/hour with no benefits

I've heard they're super backed up because of all the fraud cases they're dealing with. Doesn't make the wait any easier tho 😑

0 coins

Yeah, I read about that too. Apparently, they're implementing new verification processes which is slowing everything down.

Pro tip: if u can, apply for other assistance programs while u wait. Food banks, rental assistance, etc. Every little bit helps when ur in limbo

This! 💯 I started using my local food bank and it's been a lifesaver. Don't be too proud to ask for help, y'all.

Plot twist: NYDOL is actually run by a bunch of sloths. That's why everything moves so slow. 🦥

Hey now, don't insult sloths like that. They're way more efficient!

Serious question - has anyone had luck with the callback system? I requested one like 2 weeks ago and still nothing.

0 coins

I got a callback... 3 months after I requested it. By then I had already figured out my issue. 🤦‍♂️

0 coins

Pro tip: when you get the callback, if you miss it, you go right back to the end of the line. Keep your phone glued to your hand!

guys. i literaly spent 3 months trying to verify my identity. turns out there was a typo in my ssn on there end. keep trying youll get through eventually

3 MONTHS??? omg that's insane. glad you got it sorted tho

This is why I have trust issues with government systems 🙃

Pro tip: if you have a friend or family member who speaks another language, try calling the non-English line. Sometimes those have shorter wait times!

Heads up, they might ask you to verify other info too. Make sure you know all your account details before calling.

I had to do this last year. It was actually pretty painless. The lady I talked to was super nice and fixed it right away. Don't stress too much!
