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!

the nysdol website has a FAQ about this exact situation. from what i remember reading, yes you'll get the $300 for any eligible weeks as long as the system shows you were entitled to regular benefits for those weeks. also make sure they properly coded your hospital stay so you don't get penalized for not doing the work search requirements!

Unpopular opinion maybe but all these tax breaks and special rules during covid just made everything more confusing. Now nobody knows what rules apply anymore.

Curious - what industry do you work in? Some sectors qualify for different types of extensions or training benefits that others don't. Might be worth looking into.
I was in hospitality/restaurant management before getting laid off last year. Are there specific programs for that industry?
Hospitality workers sometimes qualify for retraining programs through workforce development. Check with your local career center - they might have options that extend benefits while you retrain for a new field.

Side note: make sure you document EVERYTHING. Keep track of the weeks you work, hours, pay stubs, etc. NY unemployment loves to randomly audit people and if your numbers don't match up they can make you pay everything back. Ask me how I know... 🙃
Yes definitely start a spreadsheet! I had to pay back $3800 because my employer reported different hours than what I claimed. I was off by like 2-3 hours some weeks because I was estimating. Not worth the headache!
THIS!!! The system is designed to catch you in the smallest mistakes I swear.
Unpopular opinion but the NY unemployment system actually works pretty well compared to other states. My sister lives in Florida and their system is a NIGHTMARE on purpose to deny claims. At least in NY you actually get paid when eligible.
LOL tell that to the thousands of us who couldn't get through on the phone lines for MONTHS during the pandemic
Fair point, but I'm talking about now. The system handles partial claims and variable hours pretty smoothly which is what OP is asking about.

Just be warned - even after you report the fraud, your account might still show the false claim for months. It takes their system forever to update and remove fraudulent claims. Don't panic if you still see it online.

THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC!!! My entire apartment building got hit with this (6 different people). We think our mail was stolen and they used that to get enough info to file claims. Check your credit reports NOW.
