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!

My letter said I was getting $410 but when I logged into my account online it showed $425. When I finally got through to someone they fixed it and said there was a calculation error. You might want to double-check your online account too.

for anyone who can't get through to unemployment by phone (which is basically everyone lol) - seriously try claimyr.com - it works and gets you through to an actual person

Can I still apply for retroactive pandemic unemployment benefits from AOC's 2021 bill that covered Sept-Feb?

So I just saw something about AOC proposing a bill back in September 2021 to extend the pandemic unemployment insurance through February 2022, and making payments retroactive to Sept 6, 2021. Specifically, I found a tweet from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) from 12:44 PM on 9/16/21 posted via Twitter Web App that said: "We're introducing a bill to extend all federal pandemic unemployment insurance through Feb. 1. Benefits would be retroactive to Sep. 6. We can't let pandemic unemployment assistance lapse when we're still recovering from the cost effects of the pandemic." The tweet included a link to an article on bnnbloomberg.ca titled "Ocasio-Cortez Prepares Bill to Extend Unemployment Benefits -..." and had 293 Retweets, 58 Quote Tweets, and 1,280 Likes. I was laid off in August 2021 and couldn't find a job until December. I applied for regular unemployment but got denied because I didn't have enough work history with my last employer (only worked there for 4 months). I had no idea there were special pandemic programs I could've qualified for. Is there any way I can still claim those retroactive benefits now? The tweet specifically mentioned that "Benefits would be retroactive to Sep. 6" which would cover exactly the period when I was unemployed. I'm struggling financially and that money would help me catch up on bills I fell behind on. Has anyone successfully filed for retroactive benefits from 2021 recently? The article mentioned the benefits would be retroactive if approved, but I can't find any updates on whether the bill passed or not. Did AOC's effort to extend "all federal pandemic unemployment insurance through Feb. 1" actually become law?

Bro they cant even handle current claims correctly you think theyre gonna give you money from 2 years ago? 💀

Have you tried looking into other types of assistance? Maybe you qualify for something else? NY has rental assistance, utility help, food stamps, etc. Worth checking out at least.

Hey just a heads up, I was in the same situation a month ago and it turned out to be a quarter change issue. If your claim spans from one quarter into a new one, sometimes the system automatically reviews your eligibility. Keep certifying and try to get a rep on the phone asap.

This! Quarter changes mess everything up in the system. If your payments stopped around the beginning of October, this is probably what happened.

Interesting - it was actually early October when the payments stopped, so this might be it!

I tried this and still couldn't get through. Their phone system is deliberately designed to make you give up.

I used claimyr.com after trying this method for 2 weeks straight with no luck. Got through first try and had my issue fixed in minutes. Payments came 2 days later.

My neighbor works for ny unemployment (data entry tho not claims) and says they have a MASSIVE backlog right now and are working 6 days a week trying to catch up. At least they're trying I guess...

this post gives me hope but also makes me mad... why are some people waiting 2 months and others 6+ months? makes no sense

It's completley random from what I can tell. My GF filed a week after me and got approved in 10 days. I'm still waiting at 5 weeks.

Its not random - they prioritize certain cases. If ur claim is complex or has any flags, ur screwed
