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!

Been there done that got the t-shirt. I spent 7 MONTHS fighting with ny unemployment over a similar issue. Got told different things by different reps every time I called. Finally just filed a new claim altogether when a new quarter started. The whole system is a joke.

Try reaching out on Twitter too. Sounds weird but I @ mentioned NYSDOL in a tweet about my backdating issue and someone from their social media team actually helped escalate my case. Worth a shot if everything else fails.

•Worked for me too! Their social media team seems way more responsive than their phone support.

there's a backdoor phone number that sometimes works better than the main line: [redacted]. I got through in 45 mins last week.
pretty sure they deactivated that one, I tried it yesterday and it just looped back to the main menu

After you talked to someone from DOL, check your spam/junk email folders daily! I missed an important email from them asking for additional documents because it went to spam. Almost lost my whole claim because of that.

Im sorry this happened to you. The waiting period is insane when you need the money now! One thing that helped me was getting a live person on the phone using claimyr.com - once I explained my situation was urgent due to possible eviction, they flagged my case as priority. Still took a few weeks, but better than months.
Thanks, I'll check out that service. At this point I'd try anything to speed things up.

Does anyone else think it's wild that NY unemployment still uses these prehistoric debit cards in 2023? Like hello, direct deposit exists and works perfectly fine for literally every other payment system? 💅
forreal! even my 85 year old grandma uses direct deposit, but somehow the state govt can't figure it out
They actually do offer direct deposit now, but they default everyone to these garbage KeyBank cards unless you specifically set up direct deposit

bro i HATE keybank with a passion. they locked me out of my account for 3 weeks because I forgot my password. had to call them like 15 times. ended up using claimyr.com to finally get someone on the phone who could help. absolute nightmare of a company.

Just a heads up, there's been some system maintenance and updates going on recently. My friend's backpay randomly appeared after 4 months of nothing, and customer service said it was because they finally finished updating some old claims after a system update.

whatever you do DON'T file a new claim thinking it will help! this will only complicate things further. stick with following up on your existing claim for the backpay.

•Thanks for the warning! I haven't tried to file a new claim since I'm employed now, but good to know that would make things worse.
