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!

File a complaint with the NY State Attorney General. I know someone who did this and suddenly unemployment was VERY interested in resolving their case quickly. Worth a shot.

Check if ur claim status says 'pending' or 'in process' online... if it says pending for that long something is definitely wrong and you should reapply completely. If it says 'in process' then keep pushing. The system is absolutely broken.
Debra Bai
•It's been showing 'under review' for 23 months. I'm afraid to reapply and start the clock all over again.
Liam Brown
•under review for 23 months is 100% a glitch in their system. definitely need to talk to someone. have you tried calling right when they open? thats when i finally got through

There's a reason why ppl call it the UNemployment office 🤣 They're literally there to NOT help you get benefits.
Facts. They make the process so complicated on purpose.

IMPORTANT INFO: I just got off the phone with an IRS rep (used claimyr.com to avoid the 3 hour wait). They told me they're still processing unemployment refunds and will be through the SUMMER. Don't panic if you haven't received yours yet. They're going through them systematically.
thank you for the update! did they say anything about what order they're processing them in?
They said they're still doing them by complexity not just file date. So if your return had other credits or deductions it might take longer.
Anyone know the number to call for this specific issue? I've called the general IRS number like 20 times and just get the "high call volume" message then it hangs up 🤬

•There's no specific number for the unemployment refunds. You have to call the main line. I used claimyr.com after weeks of failing to get through and they got me to an agent within an hour.
thanks for the tip, gonna check that out. so done with the automated system runaround

whatever you do DO NOT try to file a new claim!! if your existing claim disappeared and you file a new one it creates a whole mess that takes months to untangle. call them first!!
Leo Simmons
•Omg thanks for this warning! I was actually considering trying to file again if I couldn't get it fixed 😬

Welcome to the wonderful world of NY unemployment where nothing makes sense and the rules are made up 😅 Seriously though, your claim is probably still there in their system but just not visible to you. You need to call them.
Katherine Harris
try mailing a PHYSICAL LETTER to them. sounds crazy but my friend did this and got a call back within a week. something about paper mail triggers a different process in their system. make sure to include your claim ID and contact info obviously.

if u keep getting kicked off the phone, try using a landline if possible. cell service can drop for a split second and their system boots you. my success rate went wayyy up when i started using my parents landline.
