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!

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

Contact your state representative!!!! I had the exact same issue and nothing worked until I reached out to my local assembly member. Their office contacted KeyBank directly and I had my statements within 48 hours. They have special channels to get through to these agencies.

•This is actually good advice. Government reps can cut through red tape quick

•I hadn't thought about this. Going to look up my rep now, thanks!

i work at a restaurant and our manager just told us about this today! it's definitely real but they're still setting up the application process. he said we should all start gathering our pre-pandemic pay stubs to show our hours/wages from before vs now.

I keep seeing different amounts. First I heard $2,500, then $2,750, now people are saying $3,100. Which is it?!
It's $3,100. That's the number that was in the official announcement.
Drake
•It was originally announced as $2,750 but they increased it to $3,100 in the final approval.

•I've been at the same address for years so shouldnt be an issue, but good tip for others!

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.

I work in HR (not in NY) but generally COVID absences aren't covered by unemployment. It's a terrible gap in our system. If you have the documentation though, don't give up - sometimes exceptions are made but you NEED to talk to a human.
