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!

Preach! 🙌 It's like they expect us to be mind readers or something. Communication from NYDOL is a joke.

Hey OP, have you checked if you're eligible for any other assistance programs while you're waiting for your unemployment to kick back in? Might be worth looking into food banks or rental assistance if you're strapped for cash.

That's a good idea, thanks! I'll definitely look into other assistance options. Every little bit helps right now.

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out to your local state representative. Sometimes they can help expedite things or at least get you some answers. Worth a shot!

This actually worked for me! My rep's office was super helpful. Good advice 👍

Anybody else notice that the DOL website is always down for 'maintenance' when you need it most? 🙄 It's like they're running it on a potato or something.

Hey OP, which state are you filing in? Some states are better than others at handling out-of-state wages.

I'm filing in New York. My previous wages were from California.

Ah, gotcha. NY can be tricky, but they deal with this a lot. Just be persistent and you'll get through eventually.

Plot twist: what if we all just moved to a state with better unemployment systems? 🤔 Who's with me? 😂

Great idea! Let's all move to... um... is there even a state with a good system? 🤣

word of advice: start looking for work if you haven't already. UI is taking forever these days and you don't wanna be left high and dry if they deny you.

This happened to me last year. Turns out they had my address wrong and all the mail was going to my old place. Double check your contact info!

Oh snap, I'll definitely check that. Thanks for the tip!

Make sure to appeal if you think the overpayment was a mistake! You have 30 days from the date on the notice.

Ive been waiting 3 months for them to process my appeal on an overpayment. The system is broken af

3 months? That's insane! Have you tried contacting your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

Good idea, I'll give that a shot. Thx!
