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!

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you're not accidentally logged into an old claim if you've filed before. I made that mistake and was certifying for weeks before I realized I was on my old claim from last year. 🤦‍♂️

This might sound crazy, but have you tried faxing them? I know, I know, what year is it? But I actually got a response when I faxed in a letter explaining my situation. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

Has anyone else noticed that the NYDOL website is always down for maintenance when you actually need to use it? It's like they're trolling us at this point 🙄

0 coins

omg yes! I swear it's some kind of conspiracy to make us give up

Pro tip: try accessing the site super early in the morning or late at night. Less traffic = better chance of it working

Hang in there, OP! I know it's stressful, but try to stay positive. I was in your shoes a few months ago and it all worked out eventually. Sending good vibes your way! ✨

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.

0 coins

Oh that's good to know! I'll definitely try that if I ever manage to get someone on the line. Thanks!

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?

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.

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!

This! 👆 My rep's office was super helpful when I had issues last year. They have direct lines to DoL.

0 coins

Has anyone tried contacting their local representative? I've heard sometimes they can help push things through.

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!

My cousin works for the DOL. Can't say more than that, but thought I'd pass it along.
