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!

has anyone actually received a paper check who can confirm what the envelope looks like? i think mine might have been stolen from my mailbox ðŸ˜
Plain white envelope with NY state return address. Nothing flashy or obvious that it's a check inside. Easy to miss!

•thx! gonna check with my neighbors to see if anyone got it by mistake

The whole NY unemployment system is designed to be confusing so people give up on getting what they're owed. Been dealing with them for years and it never gets better no matter who's in charge.

•bruh that's so messed up. people need this money to survive
Sean Doyle
•Yep. And the phone system is designed to handle way fewer calls than they actually get. It's not broken - it's working exactly as intended.

apply rite away but don't expect to get any $ for at least a month. system is backed up. i had to use my credit cards to survive until benefits kicked in. start cutting expenses now if u can.
Just FYI they review your social media. My cousin got denied because they found pics of him on vacation during weeks he claimed to be "ready and available to work" 👀
wait is this for real?? i have pics from last summer but claimed in october... should i be worried?
as long as the dates don't conflict with when you're claiming benefits you should be fine. they're looking for people who claim they can't find work but are actually on a beach somewhere

Honestly from what I understand the whole unemployment tax refund thing is still a mess. Some people got their adjusted refunds automatically, some got separate checks, some had to amend returns... there's no consistency AT ALL with how NY is handling it
Luca Marino
•this makes me feel slightly better that it's not just me dealing with this chaos
Not to be that person but double check your math? I spent hours on the phone only to realize I had calculated wrong and they were actually correct 🤡
Luca Marino
•lol I did double check... and triple check. Im missing exactly $952.18
then somethings def up! hope you get your $$ back

Dude are we living the same life?? This JUST happened to me. Turned out my BYE date hit even though I had 19 days showing. Called 46 times before getting thru. They had to manually adjust something. Keep trying!!
46 times?? 😠I'm already at like 30 attempts. This is insane.
StarStrider
•I wish I was exaggerating but I literally kept a tally on a post-it note lol. The system is beyond broken. Hang in there!
Zara Malik
Stupid question but did you check your payment method info? Sometimes the system randomly deletes direct deposit info or switches back to the debit card option.
Not a stupid question at all - I did check that. All my payment info is still correct. It's just not releasing any payment at all.

try contacting ur state assembly person or senator! i had the same issue last month and couldn't get thru on the phone no matter what. emailed my assembly person and they have contacts at DOL who fixed it in 3 days. worth a shot!

i swear ny unemployment has the worst technology ever created. every. single. week. there's some new glitch or error message. like they built this system in 1995 and never updated it. i feel for you.
