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!

Called their technical support line and the rep told me they're aware of the issue and working to resolve it. Estimated time to fix is "by end of day" whatever that means 🙄

end of day could mean 11:59pm knowing them lmao

There's a new Child Tax Credit hotline specifically for unemployment recipients: 833-981-2377. They set it up last month because so many people were having this exact problem. I called and had my issue fixed in one call.

I just called this number and it's not in service anymore 😕

really?? I called it like 2 weeks ago! These govt agencies are so frustrating with their constant changes.

Have you tried reaching out to your local legal aid office? Many offer free assistance with unemployment issues, including identity verification problems. They might be able to connect you with resources or advocate on your behalf.

i feel your pain man. the whole unemployment system is set up to make you fail. took me 9 weeks to get my first payment after getting laid off. almost ended up homeless. claimyr.com was the only thing that finally worked after weeks of trying to call myself.

another day, another company promising to fix the unfixable unemployment system lol

I get the skepticism but this actually worked for me. After weeks of nothing, I got my backpay in 3 days after talking to an agent. Sometimes you just gotta try something different.

Anyone else notice how the NY unemployment website NEVER has clear info about this stuff? It's like they deliberately make it confusing 🤡

0 coins

Their website is from like 1998 I swear

Seriously! And when you call them the agents all give different answers to the same question! 🤦‍♀️

I earned about 12k in unemployment last year and didn't get any special tax break. I think your mixing up the covid relief thing from 2020. That's over now.

u in NYC? go IN PERSON to 375 Hudson Street. they have walk-in help and the wait is usually under 2 hours. way better than phone. bring all ur docs and they can usually fix payment issues on the spot.

This office is temporarily closed for renovations until June. They moved services to Brooklyn but it's appointment only now.

dang really? that sucks, it was so useful 😠 classic ny unemployment to close their most helpful office

Have you tried messaging them on Twitter? Sounds weird but I DMed @NYSLabor with my issue and they actually responded and helped fix my claim. Worth a shot if you're desperate.

0 coins

I don't have Twitter but maybe I'll create an account just for this. Getting pretty desperate at this point!
