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!

I'm confused...is this adjustment happening automatically or do we need to file an amended return? I paid taxes on about $22,000 in unemployment last year.
Emma Morales
•It's automatic for the basic unemployment exclusion. You only need to file an amended return if the exclusion now makes you eligible for credits or deductions you couldn't claim before. With $22K in unemployment, you'd get an exclusion on just the first $12K of that.
Alfredo Lugo
•Thanks for clarifying! I'll just wait for the automatic adjustment then.
ANYONE ELSE STUCK IN PENDING FOR MONTHS ON NY UNEMPLOYMENT? This tax refund is nice but I'm still fighting to get my regular benefits from 3 months ago! System is completely broken. Can't get anyone on the phone no matter how many times I call 😤
wait for real? i might have to try that. this is driving me insane and I'm about to be evicted if I don't get my backpay
I can second that recommendation. Used them last month after seeing it mentioned in this sub. Got a callback in about 2 hours and the agent was able to release all my pending payments. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast after months of waiting.

yeah right, another 'miracle solution'... what's the catch? 🙄
Nina Chan
•No catch man, I was skeptical too. They just stay on hold for you then transfer when a human answers. Saved me from going insane hitting redial for days.
hmm maybe i'll check it out then. been trying to reach ny unemployment for almost a month with no luck

the trick with ID.me is that it doesn't work on Safari at ALL. try using Chrome or Firefox and clear your cache/cookies before starting. fixed it for me!

are you getting both state and federal benefits? the federal supplement might have expired for you. they don't all end at the same time for everyone, depends on when you started.
FYI the extra federal benefits ended ages ago for everyone. That's not what's happening here.
oh dang, shows how long ive been out of the system! my bad

anyone else find it HILARIOUS that ny unemployment can take our money away with zero explanation, but if we make the tiniest mistake on our weekly certification they treat us like we're committing FRAUD? 🤡 the double standard is unreal
Emily Parker
•omg yes. I was 2 hours late doing my weekly cert once and they acted like I'd committed a felony. But they can just randomly change our payment amounts whenever 🙄
Ezra Collins
•the NYSDOL website is literally designed to make us fail i swear

something to keep in mind is that ny unemployment benefits are usually only like 50-60% of your regular income, so even when u get approved ur still gonna be struggling. start looking for a new job NOW, dont wait for these people to maybe possibly call u back someday. they've already shown they don't respect ur time.
Yeah ur right... I've been so loyal to this place and they clearly don't care. Gonna update my resume this weekend.

Bruh they're 10000% selling that hotel. Same thing happened where I worked. Kept us on the hook for almost 2 years with "renovation" excuses. File for unemployment TODAY and start job hunting.
Abby Marshall
anybody try going to the actual IRS office in person? I'm considering it at this point
