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!

Dealt with this exact issue in December. KeyBank is pure garbage. Website is from the Stone Age and their customer service reps have no idea what they're doing. I just started withdrawing the full amount every time a payment hit and putting it in my actual bank myself. Ended up being easier than dealing with their bureaucracy. Good luck!
Protip: If the website keeps giving you errors when trying to change to direct deposit (which it probably will), try using a different browser. Chrome worked for me after Firefox kept failing.
THIS! The NY unemployment site works differently on every browser for some reason. Safari was a disaster but Edge actually worked perfectly for me. Their tech is so ancient.

I've been on and off unemployment and the child tax credit payments have continued regardless. Nothing to worry about!
Same here! Got a job for 2 months, got laid off again, went back on unemployment, and the child credit never stopped coming.
Anyone know what happens if your income goes up while receiving the child tax credit? I just started a new job that pays way more than I was making before.
If your annual income for 2021 ends up being above the threshold, you might have to pay some back when you file taxes. You can go to the IRS portal and opt out of future payments if you're worried about it.
thx for the info. i'll check that out. dont wanna get hit with a surprise tax bill

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

Call the keybank card services number on the back of ur card. They can tell u if any deposits are pending even before they show up in ur account. Sometimes they can see em comin before u can.
Great idea, didn't think of that. Will try tomorrow!
Why is it always so complicated with NY unemployment? Like every other state seems to have this figured out. My sister in Pennsylvania got everything sorted in 3 days. Meanwhile I'm on week 6 of waiting...
NY has like a million more people claiming benefits tho. The system is just overloaded all the time.
PREACH. It's legit a full time job just trying to get your benefits in this state 🤦♀️

Have u tried contacting ur state rep? My cousin works for a state senator and said they have special contacts at unemployment to expedite claims. Worth a shot.
