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!

after trying for weeks i used claimyr.com and they got me through to a live agent. best decision i've made during this whole unemployment nightmare. my payments started showing up 2 days after i talked to someone.
not falling for another unemployment 'hack'... these never work
not a hack, they just wait on hold for you. try it or don't, but it worked for me 🤷♀️
U guys know that most claims are being automatically pushed thru the system right? Unless you have a specific issue that needs human intervention, u should just wait. The backlog is insane and calling 100 times just makes it worse for everyone.
Not true. My claim was pending for 6 weeks, never called, and it resolved automatically. Same for 3 of my coworkers.
Depends on the issue. Simple verification stuff? Maybe. ID verification or income discrepancies? You definitely need to call.

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.

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 🤔

After spending literally DAYS trying to reach ny unemployment with no luck, I finally broke down and tried Claimyr. They got me connected to a live agent in about 2 hours. The agent fixed my claim on the spot and my backpay was in my account 3 days later. claimyr.com saved my sanity.

•they have some system that keeps redialing until it gets through, then stays on hold. When I used it they called me about 2 hours later with an agent already on the line. Way better than the 100+ times I tried calling myself.

Honestly the only thing that worked for me was getting help from my state assembly person. Google your district and call their office - they have special contacts at unemployment who can push your claim through.
