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!

maybe its time we all show up at the unemployment office together lol. power in numbers! whos with me? 😤
I'd be down except most offices are "appointment only" now and guess what - you can't get an appointment for tax issues! The system is rigged
this reminds me of when people were camping outside the unemployment offices during covid. nothing changes 😩
Contacted my state senator's office about this last week. Their constituent services person said they're getting FLOODED with these exact complaints. Apparently there's some kind of system-wide issue with the tax refund processing software. They took my info and said they'd escalate it, but warned me there are thousands of people in the same situation. Not very encouraging but at least confirms it's a known issue.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING!!! Screenshots of your weekly certifications, confirmation numbers, emails - everything! Had to fight for 2 months to get my payments and the only reason I won was because I had proof I'd been certifying all along when they claimed I hadn't.
Good advice, I've been taking screenshots every week thankfully
I'm laughing at all you people saying "just call them" like that's so easy 🤣 I called 87 TIMES last Thursday and never got through. The system is broken beyond belief.
sauce? how do you know this isn't just another scam company?
used it myself last month when I was in the same boat. Got through to a specialist who fixed my account. Backpay showed up 3 days later. Just sharing what worked for me 🤷♂️

i got my unemployment tax refund direct deposited on August 18. Was about $1,200. Never got any notice, it just appeared in my bank account with a weird description from the IRS. So keep an eye on your account!
That gives me hope! Was yours federal or state refund?
Federal only. NY state isnt giving any refunds for unemployment taxes as far as I know.
dont even get me started on the ny unemployment website. trying to find ANY useful info there is like trying to find a needle in a haystack while blindfolded 🙄
It's like they deliberately made it confusing so people would give up on getting benefits
my favorite is when they tell you to call for more info but then the automated system just directs you back to the website. classic circle of hell 🤡

I see ppl talking about those claimyr people. I was skeptical but I used them last week and they actually got me through to unemployment after I tried for DAYS on my own. The hold music was giving me nightmares 🤣 Just sharing cuz I was in your shoes not long ago.
look at the dates carefully. you got a refund in february of $7,458. that's probably your regular tax refund. the july entry means they're still processing your unemployment tax adjustment. two different things.
That makes sense! I was getting confused between the regular refund and the unemployment tax adjustment. Thanks for clearing that up.

I just went through this last week! Had the same problem. Just request the trusted referee video call option. They'll do a video verification where you show your photo ID and answer some questions. I didnt have any of those docs with my full SSN either, but the video call worked fine.
