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 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.

not to scare u but most ppl who have unemployment fraud also have tax return fraud. contact the IRS and your state tax dept to put a pin on ur account so nobody can file taxes in ur name.
Omg I didn't even think about taxes... this is getting more stressful by the minute 😭
you can get an Identity Protection PIN from the IRS website. makes it so nobody can file without it.
am i the only one who thinks its INSANE that the ny unemployment system is so easy to hack?? like how does someone just file a claim with someone elses info and get approved??? no verification??? wtf
actually they DO verify with employers but the fraudsters know how to game the system. sometimes they even create fake companies that "verify" the employment.
still completely ridiculous. in 2022 we should have better security than this!

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 🙃

jst had this happen. took 7 months to clear up with ny unemployment. theyll send u a PIN number in the mail even tho u didnt apply - DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY. youll need it when u finally get thru to someone to prove its not u. good luck
7 MONTHS?!? That's insane. Thanks for the tip about the PIN. I'll keep everything they send.
yep 7 months. system is a joke. call early AM if ur doing it urself or use one of those calling services if u dont wanna waste ur life on hold
Have you checked if you've had a data breach? Go to haveibeenpwned.com and put in your email. Might give you clues about where your data got leaked from.
Just checked - looks like my data was in the T-Mobile breach last year 😖 That explains a lot
yeah that T-Mobile breach was MASSIVE. Affected like 50 million customers. Definitely change all your passwords!!

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.

•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.
