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!

Have you checked if there's maybe an issue with your return? My cousin had this happen and turned out there was a math error. Go to the IRS website and look at your account transcript - it'll show if there's any adjustment or issue flags.
Esteban Tate
•Thank you - someone else suggested checking my transcript too. I'm going to do that right now.

UPDATE: I wanted to thank everyone for their help! I tried the Claimyr service that was recommended here, and it actually worked! I got through to an IRS agent who told me my return was flagged because of a mismatch between what I reported for unemployment and what was on my 1099-G. Once I explained the situation, they were able to process my return. My refund should be deposited within 2 weeks! So relieved!
That's great news! And thanks for coming back to update us - always helpful to know what actually worked. Just for future reference for others with unemployment-related tax issues, always double-check that the amounts on your 1099-G match exactly what you're reporting on your tax return.
congrats man! still waiting on mine 🙄

this happened to my sister to. she said to make sure you check youre UI payment history and count the weeks careful. sometimes people think they used all 26 weeks but actually havent yet. worth double checking!
Arjun Kurti
Did you manage to get through to NYSDOL yet? I'm curious what they told you about your situation. When I finally got through using Claimyr, they were actually really helpful and explained everything clearly. Let us know what happened!
Yes! I used the Claimyr service you suggested and got through this morning. The agent confirmed I have to wait until my BYE date to file a new claim, but gave me contact info for emergency assistance programs. I've already applied for SNAP and have an appointment with my local DSS office next week. Thank you all for your help!

Unfortunately, you generally need to certify for each week you're claiming benefits, even during an appeal or review process. However, you can request retroactive certification for those weeks when you speak to an agent. Explain that you didn't understand you needed to continue certifying after the initial denial. They can often make exceptions for this, especially in cases where there was confusion about eligibility. Make sure to compile a list of all the weeks you were unemployed and available for work since January. The agent may ask you to verify your availability and job search activities for each of those weeks, so be prepared with that information.
Emma Wilson
•Thank you! I'll put together that information tonight so I'm prepared when I finally get through to someone. Fingers crossed they'll allow the retroactive certification.
Malik Davis
I've seen the retroactive certification work out for people in similar situations. Just be honest about why you stopped certifying (the denial letter made you think you weren't eligible) and they're usually understanding. Good luck - please update us when you get it resolved!
Emma Wilson
•I really appreciate all the help everyone. Will definitely post an update once I get through to someone and hopefully get this resolved!

I've been claiming for 4 months now, and from what I understand you just continue with your regular weekly certification. The system automatically adjusts the amount based on whatever programs are active. It's frustrating to suddenly get less, but at least the regular benefits continue. I'm starting to look for part-time work to make up the difference.
Adaline Wong
•Yeah I think I'll need to start looking harder for jobs too. Just wish the job market was better right now.
my friend said were supposed to get a letter in the mail explaining all this but i never got anything did u?
Adaline Wong
•Nope, got absolutely nothing. Just logged in and saw the lower amount. Would have been nice to get some kind of heads up!
Isabella Costa

Just wanted to follow up and see if you were able to get your 1099-G forms? Did you try calling again or use any of the suggestions here?

•I ended up using that Claimyr service you mentioned and got through to NYSDOL in about 25 minutes! The agent was actually super helpful and is sending both years' 1099-G forms to my email. Should have them by tomorrow. Thanks again for the recommendation - saved me so much frustration!

•Great to hear you got it resolved! Just make sure to keep copies of those forms with your tax records. The IRS can audit returns for up to 3 years (sometimes longer), so having documentation of all your unemployment income is important.
