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!

Everyone keeps talking about 'quarters' but let me make it simple: 8 weeks of work from 2020 is NOT gonna qualify you for a new claim in 2023. Period. Those wages are way too old to count in your base period. The base period only includes the last 4-5 quarters before you file, so at most they go back about 15 months. Your 2020 work was like 3+ years ago now.

Man, I feel this. I worked only 10 weeks last year and didnt qualify either. The whole system is set up to make it as hard as possible to actually get benefits. And good luck getting thru to anyone on the phone who can actually explain anything clearly. The entire ny unemployment system needs a complete overhaul.

For real! How are people supposed to survive when the safety net has so many holes in it? 😡

When all else fails with the online stuff, I found the only real solution is talking to an actual human. After weeks of trying, I finally used claimyr.com and got a callback from unemployment in less than an hour. The agent helped me complete the verification over the phone and released my payments the same day. Sometimes you just gotta bypass the broken online systems completely.

Not at all! It literally just holds your place in line and calls you when an agent is available. Saved me from waiting on hold for hours. My benefits got released right after talking to the agent they connected me with.

Waited MONTHS trying to fix my identity verification issues. Wish I'd known about this sooner!

Some phones cameras don't work with ID.me for some reason. My iPhone 7 would never pull up the camera but my friends newer Android worked fine. Try borrowing someone's phone maybe?

This systems so broken that my 68 year old mother figured out how to use Twitter just to publicly complain to get the attention of our state rep after 4 months of no unemployment benefits or tax refunds 😂😭 The sad part is that actually worked!

Your mom is a genius! Social media callouts sometimes work better than official channels these days 👏

No joke, I emailed my state senator after 3 months of nothing and suddenly my issues were fixed in 48 hours. The system works... just not the way it's supposed to 🙃

check if u qualify for the Taxpayer Advocate Service - they help people experiencing financial hardship due to tax issues. if ur waiting on this money for essential needs, they might expedite ur case.

typical new york unemployment nonsense. been dealing with this system for too long. sometimes when you finally get through to a rep they'll tell you they can see you certified even when the system doesn't show it. their computer system is from the stone age i swear

I've been on UI for 6 months and had this happen twice. Both times I just waited and it fixed itself after 2-3 days. Don't certify again - just be patient. If it doesn't fix itself by Friday then start worrying.

I hope you're right! Will try to be patient but rent is due soon so I'm stressing.

Have you tried calling the unemployment office? LMAOOO jk jk no one can ever get through on those lines 💀

I got through once after calling for 6 hours straight. SIX. HOURS. And then got disconnected halfway through my convo with the agent 😭

0 coins

Check out claimyr.com - it actually works for getting through to someone. Was skeptical but desperate enough to try and it connected me to an agent who fixed my issue

Not to freak you out, but they're SUPER strict about this. If you misreport (even accidentally) they can hit you with fraud penalties later. Make sure you're claiming exactly what your employer reports.
