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!

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

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.
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.
oh shoot, ur right. my bad. def check first!

Here's what you need to do: 1. Double-check all your info: Make sure you're entering everything EXACTLY as it appears on your official documents. 2. Try a different browser: Sometimes it's just a technical glitch. 3. Call the helpline: Yes, it sucks, but it's often the only way. Try early morning or late afternoon for shorter wait times. 4. Use the online chat if available: Sometimes faster than calling. 5. Contact your local representative: They can often help push things through. 6. As a last resort, visit an office in person: Bring ALL your documents. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up! The system is frustrating but you'll get through eventually. Good luck!
This is great advice! I'd add one more thing - document EVERYTHING. Every call, every attempt, names of reps you talk to. It might come in handy later.
Thank you so much for this detailed response! I'll definitely try all of these. Fingers crossed something works! 🤞

Have you tried reaching out to your local Small Business Administration office? They might have some resources or advice for self-employed folks dealing with unemployment stuff.

Here's what you need to know about this situation: • The New York State Department of Labor had a technical error on April 25 • They accidentally sent an email about unemployment insurance to the wrong mailing list • If you received this email and didn't apply for benefits, it was sent to you by mistake • Your identity has NOT been compromised • You can safely disregard the initial message • They've sent out a follow-up email explaining the error While it's concerning that such a mistake could happen, it's important to remember that errors can occur in any system. The quick follow-up and clear explanation from the Department of Labor is actually a good sign of their commitment to transparency. If you're still worried, you can always monitor your credit report for any suspicious activity, but in this case, it seems to be a simple (though widespread) clerical error.

•Still doesn't excuse the fact that they messed up in the first place. What if this happens with our personal info next time?

•That's a valid concern. It's always good to stay vigilant about our personal information, regardless of who's handling it.

Am I the only one who's more worried about how easy it seems to be to apply for unemployment in someone else's name? Like, what if someone actually did that to me?

•Chill, guys. There are verification processes in place. It's not that easy to commit fraud.
