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!

my brother works at the DOL and he says the extra 300 is definitely ending in sept unless congress does something which they probly wont
Mateo Warren
•Your brother is correct. The September 4, 2025 end date for the $300 supplement is set in federal law, and there hasn't been any serious discussion about extending it beyond that date.
Lydia Bailey
Update: I finally got through to someone at DOL! They confirmed I'm being transferred to Extended Benefits automatically and will continue receiving payments including the $300 extra until September when that program ends. They said the 0 effective days is just showing I've used all my regular UI, but the system continues payments under the extension. Thanks everyone for your help!

UPDATE: My 1099-G just appeared in my account today (Jan 29)! For anyone else waiting, check your NY.gov account under Unemployment Services, then look for 1099-G Information. Mine shows the correct amount too, thankfully.
just checked and mine is there too! thx for the update
StarSurfer
•Mine's there too! And it actually looks correct this time! Such a relief!
Ava Martinez
By the way, if anyone needs previous years' 1099-Gs, they keep them in the same section of your account. I was able to download my 2020, 2021, and 2022 forms all at once when I needed them for a mortgage application last month. Just click on the year you need.
That's super helpful to know! I might need my previous forms too for my mortgage application. Thanks!

UPDATE: The second half of my refund just hit my account this morning! Exactly 6 business days after the first payment. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance. For anyone dealing with this same issue, just be patient and keep an eye on your account.
Rita Jacobs
•lucky!! still waiting on mine ðŸ˜
Khalid Howes
•Great news! The system is working as expected in your case. For others still waiting beyond the 7-day window, I'd recommend contacting NYSDOL directly as there might be an additional verification needed for your specific case.
This reminds me of when they messed up my entire claim last year. Said I was getting $482/week but only paid $241 for like 6 weeks. Turned out they had me classified wrong in the system. Called like 50 times before getting someone who fixed it AND got me backpay. Government efficiency at its finest lol

I received mine this morning even though the portal said the 21st. They seem to be sending them out in batches based on the last digit of your SS number. My wife's is scheduled for the 23rd (her SS ends in 7) while mine ends in 2. Anyone notice a pattern with the last digit of their SS and scheduled dates?
Lucas Turner
•mine ends in 5 and scheduled for 20th
Just wanted to follow up - has anyone scheduled for the 20th received their refund early? I'm helping my mom track hers too (she's not great with technology) and hers is also showing the 20th.
Nathan Kim
•Nothing yet on my end. Still showing as scheduled for the 20th in the portal and nothing in my bank account. Starting to get nervous since I have rent due on the 21st...
Just got mine an hour ago! Was scheduled for the 20th too. Maybe check again?
Jenna Sloan
Same thing happened to me but my hold was for 12 weeks!!! I had to borrow money from everyone I knew. Its ridiculous how they leave ppl hanging like this. I used that Claimyr service someone mentioned above and it actually worked - got through to someone who explained what was happening with my claim. Still took forever but at least I understood what was going on.

Update: I spoke with a DOL rep today after using that Claimyr service (it actually worked!). They explained that I should continue certifying weekly but answer truthfully about my availability after giving birth. My claim will stay open, but benefits will pause while I'm medically unable to work. Once my doctor clears me, I can resume benefits without having to reapply. The 10-week investigation is still ongoing separately from this. Thank you all for your help and advice!
