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!

Make sure you're keeping ALL your job search documentation - screenshots of applications, confirmation emails, contact info for places you've applied, etc. They might be targeting you for an audit (which is what all these interviews sound like). Hope it resolves soon!

I swear the NYSDOL website was coded by monkeys. It's always glitching out or showing contradictory info. Hang in there OP, and definitely try to talk to a human ASAP.

Have you checked your email? Sometimes they send important updates there instead of showing them on the website. Also, make sure to check your spam folder!
Good idea, I'll double check my email now. Thanks!

Here's what you can do: 1. Try calling the unemployment office early in the morning, right when they open. Keep redialing if you get a busy signal. 2. Check if your local library or community center has public computers you can use. 3. Ask a friend or family member if you can borrow their device to file your claim. 4. Some unemployment offices have physical locations where you can file in person. Look up if there's one near you. 5. If all else fails, you might need to get your phone fixed or replaced ASAP. Some repair shops offer same-day service. Remember to explain your situation to the unemployment office. They might be able to make accommodations or extend deadlines if you're having technical difficulties. Good luck!

anyone else notice the system always seems to crash right when you need it most? 🤔 conspiracy theory: they do it on purpose to reduce payouts
Take off the tinfoil hat, bro. It's just an outdated system that can't handle the load.

•Maybe, but you gotta admit the timing is sus af 👀
Hey OP, when did you first file your claim? There might be different solutions depending on how long it's been pending.
Nia Harris
•I filed about 6 weeks ago. Been stuck in pending limbo ever since 😩
Oof, that's rough. Definitely try calling or using that service someone mentioned above. 6 weeks is way too long to be pending.

Have you tried reaching out to them on social media? Sometimes tweeting at them or messaging on Facebook can get a faster response.

If all else fails, you might want to consider hiring an unemployment advocate. They cost money, but they know the system inside and out and can often get results faster.
