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 just went thru this hell. They ask all the same questions from the original application. Make sure she knows: - exact dates of her last employment - employer address and phone - reason for unemployment - what job search activities she's done And the MOST IMPORTANT thing: don't give up if the line disconnects! It took me 27 calls over 3 days to finally get through. The system is a nightmare right now.

The NY unemployment system is such a joke. I spent a total of 19 hours over 3 days trying to speak to someone for my benefit extension. Eventually I caved and used a service called Claimyr that basically waits on hold for you. Got through in about 2 hours and fixed my issue. The system is deliberately broken to discourage people from collecting what they're entitled to. Keep pushing and don't give up.

•I've seen a few people mention Claimyr now. I'll definitely look into it if she has trouble getting through. Thanks for the suggestion!

lmao welcome to NY unemployment, where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 🤡 But for real, you need to apply for PEUC extension. The system should have done this automatically but it's broken af. You gotta call and talk to someone.

•where nothing makes sense and the rules are made" up is LITERALLY the perfect description of NYSDOL🤣
It's like trying to solve a puzzle where half the pieces are missing and the picture keeps changing
This is sucha common issue with ny unemployment right now! I went through it last month. Your regular UI benefits expired (usually after 26 weeks), and you need to switch to the extension program. The $300 federal supplement continues until Sept 4, but only if youre getting some form of base unemployment.

I filed in October and I'm still waiting for them to adjust mine 🙃 I've given up and started delivering for DoorDash just to make ends meet. Good luck man, hope yours gets fixed faster than mine.

•That's so discouraging to hear. Have you tried calling them at all? Or are you just waiting for it to resolve on its own?
Ethan Taylor
•I've called like 20 times with no luck. I'm going to try that claimyr service someone mentioned here cuz I'm at my wits end for real

u know whats crazy? i was also getting $182 and then one day it just randomly jumped to $405 with no notification. check ur payment history every morning - sometimes they update it without telling u!
Maxwell St. Laurent
has ur roomate checked her payment history on the website? sometimes it will show a hold reason. login > payment history > look for any message in red

•She checked and there's nothing showing up at all for the last 2 weeks, not even a pending payment or hold message. It's like the certifications just disappeared.

Everytime the system "updates" this happens to thousands of people. It's like clockwork. I've been on unemployment since last year and had to deal with this 4 separate times. Each time the only solution was calling. Save yourself the headache and use a service to get thru. I've used claimyr.com twice and it was worth every penny since I got my benefits back in days instead of weeks.

•Not that I know of. I tried some auto-dialer apps but they didn't work for getting through the unemployment IVR system. This was the only thing that worked for me.
