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!

Dealing with ny unemployment is like trying to nail jello to a wall while blindfolded. And both your hands are tied behind your back. And the jello is on fire.

just watched my payment history disappear a payment too! I swear I'm not crazy. Last Thursday it was there and now it's gone. This system is so broken. Has anyone been able to get this resolved??
my friend had the same thing and said claimyr.com got her through to a rep who fixed it in one call

I knw this sounds weird but try calling your local IRS office instead of the main number. They sometimes have appointments available and can look up your refund status right there.
Had a similar issue with my ny unemployment and federal taxes. What worked for me was going thru my state senator's office. The IRS has liaisons with congressional offices. Google your state senator, call their district office, ask for constituent services.

its a mess but there is hope! I was in the same situation. Got $670 when supposed to get $1580. I tried calling for weeks with no luck, then finally used this service called claimyr that got me through to an agent. The person explained that there was a system-wide calculation error they're fixing case by case. She put in a request and I got the rest of my refund 2 weeks later. Check them out at claimyr.com - totally worth it!
So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my friend told me about it. Not a hack, they literally just wait on hold for you. When an agent picks up, they call you. that's it. but whatever, stay on hold all day if you want lol
FWIW I used them too and it worked. honestly felt stupid for not knowing about it sooner after wasting days on hold
The NY DOL is running on outdated systems that cant properly calculate these refunds. My friend who works there says theyre completely overwhelmed and prioritizing new claims over fixing old ones. Your best bet is to call and ask specifically for the "tax refund adjustment team" - thats the special unit handling these issues.

I had this exact thing! Bus driver for 7 years and I saw that form too. I couldn't get anyone on the phone so I went to my local workforce office and they told me it was a pandemic thing that doesn't apply to me. You can just ignore it.

As a temporary solution, ask a friend if you can use their computer to check your account status online. Sometimes the error is device-specific. And clear your cookies/cache before trying.

•So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my cousin told me about it. They don't fix anything themselves - they just get you past the hold time. After that you talk to DOL directly. Was skeptical too but it worked
