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!

look on the bright side - at least your case is CLOSED. mine has been "under review" for 4 months with no updates. consider yourself lucky! 😒
True, that does sound worse. Hope yours gets resolved soon!

Reading these stories is making me so anxious. I just filed my first claim last week and now I'm terrified. This system seems absolutely nightmarish.
If your claim is straightforward you might be fine! A lot of people posting are those with issues (selection bias). Good luck!
ProTip: Make sure you answer everything EXACTLY as they ask. One tiny inconsistency can flag your account for review and then you're stuck in limbo for months.
Unpopular opinion: sometimes it really is better to take any job and keep looking while employed. Being unemployed for too long creates a gap that makes it even harder to get hired later.
Depends on the field. In tech, taking a huge step down can actually hurt your chances at getting back to your level later.
that's fair - obviously everyone's situation is different. just sharing what worked in my experience

Try calling your state rep's office. I had a similar issue and couldn't get through to unemployment for weeks. Called my assembly member and their office had a contact at DOL who fixed my issue in 2 days. Worth a shot!
That's a great idea, thank you! Do you just call their main office number?
Yep! Just call their district office, explain your unemployment issue, and ask if they can help. Make sure to have your claim ID and all details ready.

Did you make any changes to your claim recently? Like updated your address or anything? Sometimes even small changes can trigger payment holds while they verify the new info.
Nope - haven't made any changes at all. That's what's so weird. It's been working perfectly fine until now.

The ny unemployment system is GARBAGE for handling fraud 🤦♂️ My cousin waited 6 months for them to fix his fraud case! What finally worked was using claimyr.com to get thru to a supervisor (not just a regular agent) who could actually help. Regular agents just read from scripts and can't do anything useful for fraud cases.

•100% worth it when you consider the alternatives. I spent literally 20+ hours trying to get through on my own. Then used claimyr and had a resolution within days. Time is money ya know?

•I used it too after seeing it here and yeah, it works exactly as advertised. Got through to an actual human who helped me fix my claim issues.

Pro tip: If you're dealing with identity theft with unemployment, you also need to report it to the US Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General. They have a specific fraud hotline at 1-800-347-3756. This is actually more effective than just the state unemployment office for ID theft cases.
