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!

Just want to flag that SOMETIMES the partial unemployment system works better if you use Firefox instead of Chrome. Something about the form submission works differently. At least that was my experience when I filed back in october.
Has anyone had issues with the partial unemployment calculator? When I try to use it on the NY unemployment site it gives me wildly different numbers each time. Wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
its not you, its the website 🙄 total garbage coding on that calculator. I ended up just calling and having them calculate it for me, was way more accurate

I heard from someone who works at NYSDOL (friend of a friend) that their computer system had a major update that went wrong and affected about 20% of all active claims. They're working on a fix but it's taking forever because their tech is from like the 1980s 😩

•not surprised their systems are ancient. have you seen their website? looks like it was designed when aol was still popular lol
Why is nobody talking about contacting our representatives about this?? Call your state assembly person and state senator! That's what I did and their office contacted unemployment on my behalf. Had my issue resolved within 48 hours. These offices deal with constituent services and can often get through to agencies when we can't.

•I'll try this too! Who did you talk to when you called their office?
Just called the main office number and asked to speak with whoever handles constituent services for unemployment issues. They took all my info and followed up.

sounds like one of those ads that pops up everywhere. anyone ACTUALLY try this claimyr thing? hard to trust anything when it comes to unemployment help
No way, for real? Might try it then cause I'm going insane with this phone system
Yeah for real. They just keep calling until they get through. It's like having someone else do the annoying part for you.

not falling for another unemployment 'hack'... these never work and the system is designed to make people give up. been trying since march with no luck

•I felt the same way but I did finally get through using OP's persistence method. Took me 4 days of trying but it worked. Don't give up!
Finnegan Gunn
After struggling for months, I finally found a strategy that works. Call right at 8:00am, press 1-9-2-1 when prompted (skips some menus), and if you get disconnected, call back immediately. Took me 38 tries in one day but finally got a human who fixed everything.

•I tried calling at different times and found 10:30am and 2:45pm seem to have slightly shorter wait times for some reason

you wanna know who ACTUALLY knows what they're talking about? NO ONE. not even the unemployment office themselves. it's all a giant experiment and we're the lab rats.
