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!

Ugh this EXACT thing happened to me last month. Key2Benefits is the WORST. I ended up having to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau before anyone would help me. You can do it online here: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/

•How long did the CFPB process take? I need this money asap...
It took about 5 days for me. Not instant but they are required by law to respond. Squeaky wheel gets the grease!
i FINALLY got thru to someone by using claimyr.com. it's a service that calls and waits on hold for u, then connects you when a human answers. talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast, and i was in the exact same situation.
the difference is it actually works lol. they just call and wait on hold so you don't have to. when they get someone they connect you. super simple and saved me hours of hold music.
I tried calling for 3 days straight and kept getting disconnected. Used Claimyr and got through same day. Was literally the only way I could talk to a human at Key2Benefits.

Contact your state representative or assemblyperson! I was stuck in limbo for months, emailed my state senator's office, and they helped push my claim through within a week. They have special contacts at unemployment.

•👆 This actually works. They have special phone numbers they can call to check on claims.

Did anyone notice they updated the phone system recently? Now it disconnects you if the wait is too long instead of keeping you on hold forever... somehow that's even worse?
Ava Garcia
•OMG YES! Happened to me 3 times last week. So infuriating!!
Miguel Silva
Their phone system gives me nightmares fr. I can still hear that hold music in my sleep ðŸ˜
Your call is important to" us x1000000😂

ID.me is straight TRASH. After my 5th failed attempt I raged so hard 😤 The phone verification actually works though! They ask questions about your credit history that a scammer wouldn't know. Much better system. But getting someone on the phone... good luck with that nightmare lol. I finally used claimyr.com after trying for days to call myself.
AstroAlpha
Yes! I successfully did phone verification after ID.me kept glitching out. They ask security questions based on your credit report - old addresses, loan amounts, previous employers. Way easier than the ID.me nightmare. The hard part is just getting someone on the phone. I had success by calling right when they open at 8am and specifically asking for the identity verification department due to "multiple ID.me failures." Don't let them transfer you to the general queue! Be persistent about needing the specialized identity verification team.

•How long did the actual verification take once you got the right person on the phone?
AstroAlpha
•About 15 minutes for the questions, then they told me it would take 3-5 business days to process. My payments actually started 2 days later.

Have you tried reaching out on Twitter? Sometimes publicly calling them out gets attention. Tag @NYSLabor in a tweet describing your situation.

So frustrating! What fixed my issue was connecting with a live agent through claimyr.com after weeks of trying on my own. They call and wait on hold for you, then connect you when they get a human. It was the only thing that helped me finally get my account unlocked.

•I get the skepticism, I was the same way. But after 6 weeks of no benefits I was willing to try anything. And it actually worked - talking to an agent solved my issue in one call.

•So I was about to throw my phone after 3 hours on hold when my friend told me about this. Got a live person in about 90 minutes. Totally worth it.
