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!

Your friend needs to be aware that while the payment schedule stays the same, there have been LOTS of glitches in the system lately. I've seen people randomly get flagged for review right after the supplement ended. It's probably fine but she should keep an eye on her account.
This 👆 My roommate's account got flagged for "additional review" right when the supplement ended. Took him calling (using that claimyr service) to get it fixed.

i had this happen. turns out my account was HACKED. someone tried to change my direct deposit info. definitely call asap and tell them you need to verify your identity and banking info!
omg now im really freaking out. were you able to get it resolved??
Oscar O'Neil
•Yes! But only after I got through to a person. They had to put additional security measures on my account. Check your email spam folder too - they might have sent you alerts

DEFINITELY call! A friend of mine lost 4 weeks of benefits because they didn't call right away when their certification button disappeared. Don't wait!

I've been dealing with NY unemployment for 18 months now and the system is just broken. Sometimes the certification option disappears randomly and reappears a day later. Sometimes it means there's a hold. Sometimes it means you need to call. There's literally no way to know without talking to someone. When you finally get through, make sure they check ALL possible issues and don't just give you a quick answer.
Thanks for the advice! Really appreciate your insight after dealing with this for so long.

I had similar issue but when I finally got thru agent said they couldn't find my claim in the system at all!!! Had to reapply from scratch and then wait another 6 weeks. Check that your claim is actually in their system.
That's terrifying. How did you eventually confirm it was in their system?
Had to talk to an agent... which meant more endless calling 😑 But seriously, might be worth the effort of using claimyr.com like others mentioned just to confirm your application wasn't lost

after 2 months of the same busy signal BS i broke down and used claimyr. got through to an agent who fixed my claim that day. my benefits hit my account 2 days later. was in the EXACT same position as you.

Here's a crazy idea: what if we organized and all showed up at the DOL office in person? They can ignore our calls but hard to ignore a crowd of people demanding answers about why they suddenly lost access with no warning.

•Most of their offices are still closed to the public bc of COVID. Tried that route already 😒

everyone who had leftover balances should file a class action lawsuit. this is basically theft - they promised a certain amount then took it away after we already qualified for it.

•Unfortunately the law that created these programs specifically included the September 5 end date. The remaining balance was always contingent on the program continuing. Not really grounds for a lawsuit.

•they still coulda given better warning that we'd be completely locked out tho. that part feels illegal to me
