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!

This is why I always tell people to KEEP CALLING no matter what! The first agent rarely has the power or knowledge to fix complicated issues. You have to get to tier 2 support or whatever they call it. Congrats on getting your $$!
My issue turned out to be my former employer contesting my claim even though I was clearly laid off. The first 5 agents I spoke with never mentioned this - it wasn't until I reached someone competent that they actually told me what was happening behind the scenes.
this happened to my roommate too! And then when she finally found out, she had to submit all this additional documentation that no one had asked for previously. took her 3 months to resolve.

I was in your same position last month. After trying for two weeks straight, I broke down and used claimyr.com - they call unemployment for you and connect you when a real person answers. Was skeptical but it actually worked! They called for 3 hours (glad it wasn't me waiting) and then I got connected to an agent who fixed my issue in 10 minutes. My payments started coming through again the next day.
I might have to try this. Getting desperate at this point.
Do it! Wish I had done it sooner instead of wasting so much time and getting so stressed out.

Check if you have two accounts now. Sometimes when you reapply it creates a new claim instead of extending the old one, and that can cause massive confusion in their system. Ask specifically about this when you talk to someone.
sounds like one of those ads that pops up everywhere. anyone ACTUALLY try this?
Yep, used it last week after seeing it recommended here. It works exactly as advertised - they call and wait on hold, then your phone rings when an agent is on the line. Beats the hell out of doing it yourself.
I tried it too. Worked fine. Not a miracle but definitely saved me hours of frustration.

Did you try contacting them through Twitter? Sounds weird but their social media team sometimes responds faster than phone support. DM them your issue (no personal info) and they might escalate it.
Been there. Waited 2 months just to have my claim vanish. I ended up using claimyr.com to get a rep on the phone and then I had to be SUPER specific about what happened. Use these exact words: 'My claim was archived during system maintenance and needs to be restored from the archive database.' They'll know exactly what to do if you say it that way.
Thank you for the exact wording! I'll try this tomorrow morning when I call.

I went through this last year. The most important thing is to file Form 14039 (Identity Theft Affidavit) with the IRS so they know not to come after you for taxes on benefits you didn't receive. Also file a report at identitytheft.gov which creates a personalized recovery plan.

Not just you, there's a HUGE wave of unemployment fraud happening in NY right now. My whole office got hit (5 people!). We all got tax forms for benefits none of us ever filed for. NY unemployment is completely overwhelmed with these cases.

•Same at my company! Our HR department sent out a mass email because like 12 employees all got fraudulent unemployment claims in their names. Something big is happening.

•wonder if it was a data breach somewhere? seems weird that so many people from the same companies are getting hit 🤔
