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!

I went through this EXACT thing back in November. What worked for me was using Claimyr to get through to an agent (claimyr.com) and then specifically requesting to speak with a supervisor. The regular agents just read from scripts and can't actually help with complex issues. The supervisor was able to see exactly why my payments were held and fixed it on the spot. Got my 6 weeks of backpay like 3 days later.

•wait hold up - does this actually work or is it just the usual BS?
Emma Davis
•It worked for me! After weeks of failed attempts calling myself, I was desperate enough to try anything. The thing about unemployment is actually getting through to talk to someone is 90% of the battle. Once you have a live person (especially a supervisor), most issues can get resolved in one call.

anyone notice that ny unemployment is super quick to start taking money out of your account when they think they overpaid, but when THEY owe YOU money suddenly everything moves at glacial speed? 🤡

lmao the dept of labor can barely process regular claims let alone magical automatic ones 😂 No way this is legit
For real tho. They still using computers from 1997 💀
I waited 13 weeks for my regular claim to process last year and they want us to believe they're now magically auto-approving people? 🤡🤡🤡

anyone else notice how hard it is to even check your claim status online these days? the ny unemployment website keeps crashing on me. and when i call i just get a busy signal or an automated message saying to call back later 🤮
i just experienced this! tried 14 times yesterday and couldn't get through
Omar Mahmoud
•website always crashes during peak hours. try logging in super early like 6am or late at night
Chloe Harris
Sounds like you need to talk to a real person at unemployment ASAP before your benefits end. Good luck with that tho - their phone system is a joke. After dozens of failed calls I used claimyr.com and finally got through. The rep told me all about my options including how to properly document medical exemptions.

•No joke. I've started keeping a journal of all the different errors I get each week. Up to 12 different ones now! 💯

I filed an amended return for the EXACT same reason in April. My ctc payments kept coming fine BUT my amendment is still "processing" according to the where's my amended return tool. It's been like 18 weeks now 🙄

One thing to keep in mind - the IRS and unemployment systems don't talk to each other very well. I amended my unemployment income and kept getting the CTC as normal, but when I filed the next year's taxes, it was a mess sorting it all out. Document everything!
