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!

Pro tip: If you can't get through on the phone, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes tweeting at the department or messaging them on Facebook can get a faster response. Worth a shot! 🤞
This actually worked for me! Got a DM from them within a day after tweeting.

Has anyone had luck with the online portal? I've heard mixed things about it.
LOL good luck with that. That thing is more buggy than a roach motel 🪳
It worked for me, but only after I cleared my browser cache and tried on a different device. Worth a shot!

Anyone else notice that the online portal is always "under maintenance" when you actually need to use it? 🙄
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's like they know exactly when I'm gonna log in 😤

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 👍

they tried the same BS with me last year! kept saying they couldn't issue just the federal part. finally i threatened to file a complaint with the US Dept of Labor and suddenly they found a way to do it. don't give up!

Not so fun fact: ny unemployment intentionally makes these processes difficult and gives agents limited training on complex cases. it's literally designed to make people give up on benefits they're entitled to. the worse their numbers look, the better it is for politicians who want to say they're "combating fraud" or "reducing dependency." FIGHT FOR YOUR MONEY!

•This is 100% true. My sister works for the state (not NYSDOL but adjacent) and confirms this is deliberate policy. They call it "disincentivizing continued claims" 🤮

•That's so messed up but explains a lot about why this process has been so frustrating
