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!

It's the worst when you call and they just tell you to "wait" with no actual info. Try asking these specific questions next time you get through: 1. Is my claim pending or denied? 2. Is there any specific documentation missing? 3. Is there an ID verification issue? 4. Can you escalate this to a supervisor due to the extended wait time? Don't let them rush you off the phone without answers.

Had the same problem and finally got it fixed using Claimyr.com - they wait on hold for you and then connect you when a real agent picks up. Talking to a human made all the difference - the agent saw my claim was stuck in review and pushed it through right then! Got backpay for all weeks the next day. After months of calling myself and never getting through, this was the best solution I found.

•Not spam, just sharing what worked after I tried literally everything else. It's just a service that waits on hold for you. No magic, just saves you from the hours of hold time and disconnects. The actual unemployment agent is the one who fixes your claim.
I used it too. It's basically just a way to skip the 3+ hour hold time. Still have to deal with the unemployment people yourself once connected.

Check your local churches and community orgs! A lot of them have emergency assistance funds. I got help with my electric bill and some groceries from a catholic charities place and I'm not even religious.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone here to VOTE in your local elections! The people making decisions about unemployment benefits and assistance programs are often at the state level. If we want better safety nets, we need to elect people who will fight for them.

•THIS 💯 Too many people skip local elections but those are the ones that affect our daily lives the most!
Feels pointless sometimes but ur right. Gotta play the long game too.

Honestly, I stopped trusting the online portal completely. The only way to get accurate info is to talk to an actual human. I wasted 2 weeks checking the portal daily and sending messages. Finally used claimyr.com to get through on the phone and the agent told me my backpay was being held because of some flag that wasn't even visible on my account. Talking to an agent got my $ unlocked so fast - worth every penny to avoid the hold times.

wait so your claim was approved but they only paid 1 week? that's messed up even by ny unemployment standards 🤡
Yeah exactly! The determination letter clearly shows all 5 weeks approved but only 1 payment released. Makes no sense.

GUYS I think I figured out what happened. There was a data breach mentioned in some obscure press release last month - it wasn't widely reported. I found this article: https://www.databreachtoday.com/state-unemployment-systems-targeted-in-credential-stuffing-attacks-a-19375
Thanks for sharing this! I'm shocked this isn't being covered more widely.

•Typical. They always try to hide these things. Bet they knew for weeks before putting up those alerts.
I work in cybersecurity (not for NY state) and I can tell you these alerts are legitimate concerns. What's likely happening is credential stuffing - hackers got passwords from other breached sites and are trying them on government portals. If you use the same password across multiple sites, you're especially vulnerable.

•Can they access our SSNs through this?
Unfortunately yes - if someone gets into your unemployment account, they likely have access to view your SSN and other personal info already stored there. That's why it's so critical to respond quickly.

Wait, so y'all are getting your claims ACCEPTED?! 😂 I can't even get past that step. Been pending for 8 weeks now.

NOPE. Filed September 8, still nothing. Online account just says "processed" each week but my bank account says "$0" 🙃 I'm about to lose my apartment over this. Thanks NY unemployment!
