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!

hahaha welcome to the wonderful world of NY unemployment where nothing works right and nobody can tell you why! 😂 been on this ride for 7 months now and still missing payments from march.

•7 MONTHS?? bro how are you surviving??
Malik Thomas
•credit cards, family loans, and ramen noodles my friend. lots and lots of ramen noodles.
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.

The whole ny unemployment system needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch. Total nightmare from start to finish.
LPT: If you're still waiting on your unemployment tax refund, don't call the regular IRS number - call the Tax Advocate Service instead at 877-777-4778. They can actually look up your specific case and tell you if there are any issues or approximately when to expect your payment. The regular reps have zero visibility into the unemployment adjustment process.
tried calling but couldn't get through - line was busy for 2 hours straight
Yeah they're slammed too. Best times to call are right when they open (7am EST) or during lunch (1-2pm EST). Fewer callers then.

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.

Anyone know if this will delay our payments this week? I'm seriously counting on that money dropping on Thursday...
If you can certify by midnight tonight you should still get paid on schedule
Carmen Vega
•thx, fingers crossed the system comes back soon then
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 🙄
Ravi Patel
•end of day could mean 11:59pm knowing them lmao

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.

•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.
