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!

Random but does anyone else get anxiety when they see an email from ny unemployment? even now when my claim is all settled, i still get a pit in my stomach when i see that nysdol.gov address pop up lmaooo
omg i literally have a special alert sound for their emails and my heart still DROPS when i hear it 😂

•post-traumatic unemployment disorder is REAL
congrats on the new job!! quick question - did u have any issues when u reported job interviews during your certification? i did last week and now my payment is 'pending' instead of the usual processing 😣
I had that issue once! When you report interviews sometimes it triggers a review. Try calling them (I know, I know) - in my case they just had to verify the interview was real and then released the payment.
tysm!!! been trying to call for 3 days with no luck. might try that claimyr thing someone mentioned above since i need this payment ASAP

How am I supposed to find a job when nobody in my industry is hiring yet? Restaurants and bars are still at reduced capacity, events are getting cancelled again because of delta, and I'm supposed to just... what? Switch careers overnight? Start driving for Uber in an already oversaturated market? The government is so out of touch with reality.

•I feel this so hard. I've applied to 87 jobs in the past month. Got 3 interviews and no offers. The job market is NOT as great as they say on the news.
Has anyone had their account randomly locked recently? I was certifying normally last week and now suddenly I'm locked out and can't get through to anyone. Worried I won't get my last few weeks of benefits before the Sept 4 cutoff.
Same thing happened to me! They said it was for "identity verification" but I already did that 3 months ago. System is broken.

•Use claimyr.com to get through to a rep. I had the same issue and they fixed it in one call. Worth the money since I would have lost way more in benefits if I couldn't certify.

For what its worth, I had EXACTLY the same issue with my NY unemployment tax refund. Check was mailed to wrong address even tho I had direct deposit set up. Took 3 months and 20+ calls to finally get it sorted. The IRS is completely overwhelmed still.
how did u finally get it sorted? been trying for weeks to fix mine
Had to do a payment trace through an IRS agent, prove I never received or cashed the check, then wait for them to reissue. Total nightmare but eventually got the money.
I've dealt with this disaster too 😤 Not sure if anyone mentioned, but you can also contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Service office for help if you're having financial hardship due to not receiving your refund. They can sometimes move things along faster than regular IRS channels.

•the taxpayer advocate service is also backlogged by like 6 months rn... but worth a try I guess
True but if you can demonstrate actual hardship (like facing eviction, utilities being shut off) they will prioritize. Just have to be persistent and document everything.

does anyone else think it's weird that these verification requests always seem to come right before benefits are about to end? seems intentional to me...
omg YES! happened to 3 of my friends too. They time it that way hoping people won't bother completing it
Follow the money. Every missed verification = money they don't pay out

Hate to be that person, but did you try all the variations of your email? Like if you normally use name@gmail.com, try n.ame@gmail.com or na.me@gmail.com - gmail ignores dots in addresses but some systems register them as different emails. Worth a shot!

When you filed your claim originally, did you set up direct deposit then or was it added later? If it was later you might be able to use the paper check option as a fallback. Still have to talk to someone but sometimes the paper check option has a different verification process. Just thinking outside the box here cause I've been through this circus.

•I set it up when I first filed. Is there a way to switch to paper checks without ID.me verification?

•In my experience you still need to verify identity but sometimes they have alternative methods if you explain you can't access ID.me. Worth asking about when you get someone on the phone.
