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!

u ever try faxing them? sounds ancient but my bf got a response in 2 days after sending a fax when calls went nowhere for weeks
Luca Bianchi
•Do you have the fax number by any chance?
Miguel Ortiz
•I think he used 518-457-9378 but double check that on their website to make sure it's current
Same issue. Filed in March, payments stopped in April with no explanation. Called 200+ times. Finally found success with Claimyr last week - they got me connected to an agent who fixed my account in minutes. Whatever they're doing to get through the phone system works. claimyr.com saved me 💯
QuantumQuest
•hmm I've been burned by so many of these 'services' before... what makes this different?
It's not a scam if that's what you're asking. They just have a system that calls unemployment constantly until they get through, then they call you and connect you with the agent. You still talk directly to unemployment to fix your issue.

Try this email: nysdolissues@labor.ny.gov - I emailed them explaining my situation and got a callback within 48 hours. Make sure ur subject line clearly explains ur problem.

One suggestion that really helped me - contact ur bank and put a verbal password on ur account that's NOT tied to security questions someone might know. Also check if any address change requests have been submitted for any of ur accounts.

you can contact NY AG's office too - they have a specific division for unemployment fraud now because it got so bad. https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/Filing-a-Consumer-Complaint

Sounds like u did exactly the right thing! My sister had a similar issue and the state senator route worked. Took about 8 days for her to get a call. the regular unemployment phone number is basically useless these days.
Theres actually a Facebook group called "Help with New York unemployment" with like 50,000 people in it. Lots of success stories from people who went through their reps. You should check it out while waiting.

The whole NY unemployment system is held together with duct tape and prayers 😠I swear they intentionally make it confusing so people give up

pro tip: try calling your local state representatives office! Sometimes they can help push your claim through faster. Worked for me last year when I was stuck in waiting week hell for over a month.

•That's a really good idea, I hadn't thought of that! Did you just call their main office number?

CosmicCaptain
•Yep! Just explained the situation and that I'd been trying to reach unemployment for weeks. They took my info and had someone from unemployment call me back within 3 days!
