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 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 🤔

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.

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've called 173 times today. ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE. Not exaggerating, I've been keeping count. Not a single time got past the "we're experiencing high call volume" message. How is this acceptable in 2023???
Omg I thought my 86 times yesterday was bad. We're living in a dystopia fr
update: gave up at 211 calls. my finger hurts from redialing. will try again tomorrow at 8am sharp i guess 🙃

Does the letter give ANY reason at all? Even a code or section number? Look that up online. Sometimes its something simple you can fix by uploading a document or making a phone call to clarify something.

•That section is about insufficient work history/wages in your base period. Did you work all 4 quarters before applying? If you started your job less than 18 months ago, that could be the issue.

•I worked at the same place for over 3 years before the layoff, so that definitely shouldn't be the issue. Must be a mistake.

This is why I hate the ny unemployment system so much. They deny people for no reason hoping they wont appeal, and make it IMPOSSIBLE to talk to anyone. It's cruel and designed to prevent people from getting benefits they deserve. 😡
