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!

Be very careful with any site asking for payment upfront. The legitimate unemployment process through NYS Department of Labor is completely free - filing claims, weekly certifications, job search assistance, even appeals if your claim gets disqualified. Third-party companies can't speed up adjudication or guarantee approvals, despite what their marketing claims.

•What about services that help you get through to NYS Department of Labor on the phone? I've been trying to call for days about my adjudication status and can never get through.

•I actually used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) when I couldn't reach anyone at NYS Department of Labor for weeks. They have this system that calls repeatedly until they get you connected to an actual agent - saved me hours of frustration. There's even a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Definitely helped me get my adjudication issue resolved faster than waiting indefinitely.

The unemployment system is confusing enough without scammers making it worse! I stick to just the official NYS Department of Labor resources. If you need help understanding something, this forum is actually more helpful than most of those paid services anyway.

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?
Chloe Martin
•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.

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 😑
Ava Johnson
•Yeah, I read about that too. Apparently, they're implementing new verification processes which is slowing everything down.
Miguel Diaz
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
Zainab Ahmed
•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.

Rami Samuels
•3 MONTHS??? omg that's insane. glad you got it sorted tho
This is why I have trust issues with government systems 🙃

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 started going for walks every morning when I do my job searches online. Having some kind of routine helped me feel more in control of the situation. Also downloaded a meditation app because the uncertainty was killing me.

•That's smart! Exercise definitely helps with stress hormones.
