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!

Oof, out-of-state claims are a real headache. Took me like 3 months to sort mine out. Hang in there!

Pro tip: if you cant get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. They can sometimes help speed things up with NYDOL.

This! 👆 My rep's office was super helpful when I was stuck in unemployment limbo.

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard it might be faster than mailing or uploading online.

What year is it, 1995? 😂 But for real, I've heard this too. Might be worth a shot!

Just a heads up, they changed some policies last month. Make sure you're up to date on the latest requirements for fair hearings. The DOL website should have the info.

I'm in the exact same boat. filed 6 weeks ago, still pending. this whole system is a dumpster fire 🔥

Hot take: the system is designed to be frustrating so people give up. Don't let them win! Keep pushing!

100% this. It's all about attrition. Stay strong, OP! 💪

Has anyone tried going to the office in person? I'm thinking of making the trip tomorrow, even though it's a long drive. Getting desperate here.

I tried that last week. Waited in line for 3 hours only to be told they can't help and I need to call the hotline. 🤡 Save yourself the trip.

Oof, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll keep trying the phone then. This whole thing is such a joke.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. We're all rooting for you!

The 0 effective days is such a scam. If there's federal money available (which there is) you should get it automatically. But NY makes it so complicated on purpose so fewer people collect. Capitalism at its finest 🤮

Preach! 👏 They don't want us to know our rights. I had to fight for every penny.

what exactly does it do? just calls for you?

0 coins

Yeah it basically uses auto-dialers to keep calling until it gets through, then calls your phone when it connects with a real person. Saved me hours of frustration.
